Miss Emo Strikes Again
November 23, 2006 by edzguanko
Okay, okay, I admit it. I was too emotional these past few days. Maybe because my favorite cousin is getting married. Or maybe because I am missing my niece too much. Or maybe because I’ll be alone again this weekend and I’m not used to that anymore. Or maybe because I miss D, and that I find myself thinking about him against my will. Anyway, I promised myself that I’ll stop this emotional bullshit (excuse my French) today.
Last night, I took a walk in UP and I tried to calm my mind. It makes me crazy sometimes, the way my mind jumps so fast from one thought to another. I read somewhere that learning to focus is vital to success. So I tried some techniques I’ve read in a book and I think they pretty much worked. I also tried to sit still and meditate for 15 minutes last night. It’s just so hard to empty my mind of all thoughts! Hmm, maybe if I do it regularly I’ll get the hang of it.
Before I went to sleep last night, I wrote all the things I want to accomplish today. One of them was waking up early and I’ve already crossed that out. It’s just that, my dream was so crazy and sexy that I never wanted it to end! So even though I woke up late, I felt light and absolutely wonderful.
So no Miss Emo for today. I have things to do, like organizing my chaotic life.
Being emotional is also therapeutic. It makes one to be creative and artistic. Moreover, it makes you pack your bags to calm chaos temporarily.
you said it! i’m more creative when i’m emotional, but it’s too tiring. so i’m trying to do what i’ve never attempted before… control my emotions =)
