Life can be obnoxious, sometimes, to say in the least. Its obnoxious there isn’t more hours in a day. Its obnoxious how many hours we need to sleep. And its obnoxious my time-management skills have been lacking something fierce as of late. What is even more obnoxious, I know my feeling of being inferior has nothing to do with time, but, instead, with how much I recognize I can do better. I make better use of my time than I realize as a friend explained to me. I get up at 10pm and go to bed at 1pm. That is the same as waking up at 8am and going to bed at 11pm. The problem is that it just isn’t the same even though the hours correspond. It parallels with my days off. I get off Friday morning and go back to work Sunday night. I, technically, get the same amount of hours off as everyone else, but, I feel I only have Saturday off since I work part of Friday and part of Sunday. Perspective can make or break a day and your outlook on life; a powerful tool. Some of the worst times that “perspective” enters my life is when I am lying in bed, unable to sleep, and have only the energy to think. Most recently, thoughts of past relationships keep entering my mind and, besides for feeling lonely, I am not sure what good it does me; I believe that is the reason I have been feeling pessimistic about life because its continually happening. Eventually, an island somehow crosses my mind and I being to drive away into a sleep thinking about vacationing. My best guess in solving this problem is making a list of things I am trying to fit into my schedule, write out my schedule, and breed the two together. I was thinking about going to the library every day after school, and on weekends, for a while to just write. Maybe write more entries but definitely write more of my novel; as it has been on a standstill for the past couple weeks. I’ll be able to start spending more time at the library this week and I am in high hopes it works out well. I want more productivity when it comes to my writing and there is only one way to get it!
The power of perspective!
