So, it is really hard to remember the stuff I wrote last night! I mean, I get it, but I forget to use it when I'm having a conversation with someone. I'm going to work on it like this: whenever I feel myself getting upset with someone, I have to stop and think of the person I'm talking with as someone who feels a lot like me. Of course, it's bad to assume I UNDERSTAND how they feel and all that, because that would be rude and likely incorrect. I just mean that I need to remember that they are human, just like me, and they have feelings and inner thoughts and sudden human reactions and feelings to the things I say.
Basically, I need to be more TACTFUL and SENSITIVE toward the other person's own sensitivity! I also need to respect them like I respect myself. I thought I was doing a good job of these things, but I really wasn't.
Its amazing that I even came on your profile I also do not have a clue how to find profiles on Blog!
ReplyDeleteBut anyway to the matter at hand I am your first official comment lol
( Please bare in mind i just joined up i havent even blogged yet its far easier to blog on your page then mine. )
It sounds like your parents dont like the fact you dont have a job and you feel that by your parents pushing you in a certain direction that they are trying to make the decision for you.
Lets look at the situation from your view .. ? Actually do you mind sharing more about yourself lol I cant really correctly comment I will as per below but take it for what its worth i may be totally off as i havent really talked with you .
I can imagine that the conversation may entail instances such as what are you doing with your life you cant just sit at home you need to get out there .. I may be way off but often parents just want the best for you !
You probably find it frustrating being pushed in directions when you not 100 % sure what you want to do ..
The three points in your life you sound like you want clarity on is:
Independence vs dependence -
I think that there is a time for both we always need someone that we can talk to truthfully I dont share my issues with people i always try to be strong so I have stuff to work on to.
Growing relationships:
It really sounds like you want to understand relationships and make them work. In one sense you want to be more sensitive to others by remembering that they are like you they do have the same emotions !
The goals going on my mirror are:
1. Be pianist
(schedule classes and work, practice daily)
What do you like about playing the piano ?
2. Discover God
(bible daily)
Are you a born again Christian ?
3. Japanese
(five+ symbols a day)
4. Health
(exercise, lessen sugar)
I copied you on this 1
How you think Japanese will help for your future ? Can you see yourself teaching linguistics ?
If its a passion all i can say is go for it you have nothing to lose .
Can i share with you though..
Personally I have become frustrated with life & work, i feel so unsatisfied in what I am doing that I have to leave.. I am only like 2 years older then you but you know like the Bible says life is a vapour. One day just flows into the next .
Today i was learning about Atrophy which is the loss of bodily functions due to not being used for instance it is said if you stay in the dark for a long period of time that you would go blind .
And when you think about it you can relate this to life, lets say you stop studying Japanese you would slowly lose the ability .. all I am saying is put the time and passion into what you love & you will be blessed.
The same goes for the Bible and relationships the only way it grows is with commitment.
I look at the world and myself I found I lost apart of who I am through my work I am not as compassionate or caring I can be at times very apathic . And you know with high stress & responsibility I found I did change alot and I wasnt happy with the change. I should be blogging on my page not yours lol.
Thanks Sarah for reading
