Teenagers Being More Emotional than Other Age Groups Isn’t a Trend, It’s a Phase of Life
Many times I would hear adults over 25 say that students should cherish the time spent at school with friends, doing home works and performing school tasks but, they don’t explicitly say that adulting is all about paying bills, saving up, working 12 hours in shift, going home exhausted and you still have house chores waiting at home. I’m not saying this because I could relate well with the adults. Other than my graduation happening this week, I was hoping to finish the compilation of my photography portfolio.

You Have to Choose What Influences You and What to React On
I have been keen on being proactive in my undertakings. I was shaped that way through rigorous adaptations to source control beyond my diagnosed condition. I’m still taking maintenance meds for Bipolar but it’s reasonable to make it a goal to stop the medicine when things are all well — that I hope comes soon.

I Made Myself into a Role Model by Being Proactive
Why do people like to think of someone else as a role model? Growing up I was obsessed with picking someone to idolize, to find attractive qualities in a person, and to allow myself to envision life emulating their characteristics. But, I didn’t get it.

What It Pays to Be Curious of the World, Its Processes, and the People Around Us
I told my Dad to buy me this desk calendar because it felt like it could come in handy. The calendar was relatively simple and aesthetic in its function. The main thing I used it was to cross out each passing day. The biggest factor that gave out to my impulse to buy it was the specific quotes written beside each month, all varying on a theme that is specific to the season.

Why We Don’t Understand How to Be Comfortable with Spending Money
One of the things I don’t understand is K-pop. Another is comfortably spending money. I believe many people could relate to the latter more than the former, and today of all things to spend money on, I used it to buy concert tickets to a K-pop group’s fan concert tour. (tickets with an “s” because my Dad sponsored half the price which I’ll get into a short while.)

The Infinite Power of Empathy on Placing Meaning in the Life We Live
Don’t you ever find it interesting to think about the lives of other people besides yourself? For years, I thought about how easy it was to put someone else’s pain in my shoes. Or at least in the sense that I would understand them.

Trying to Look at Reasons Why I’m Finding It Hard to Share My Things with Others
I thought about rereading the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey. This book is quite special to me. Mom didn’t think twice about buying this expensive book for me. I was hesitating on pulling the trigger and lining up on the cashier holding this book even though it was on my bucket list, due to how expensive it was — and the unnecessary feeling that I didn’t deserve the book.

A Journey of Learning Peace of Mind Despite Being Adamant to Change
Where do we draw the line between exerting more effort and letting go? To accept things are not going the way you want them, is a laborious conflict to someone like me who is perfectionistic.

Worrying Will Only Make You Unhappy, Try Acting with Worry Instead.
To be honest, adulting is hard. As graduation day approaches, my transition from student life to potential employment in less than only a month feels unreal. I know this is normal and by the way, before I even elaborate further on this. Let me tell a short story of mine back in high school
