secrets of truly happy people
i searched the internet for secrets to being happy. obviously because i am feeling so down in the dumps for a week already. and i thought, its time to end this unhappiness.
and i discovered that there are diverse ways and means to be happy. one of them is having a bad memory. of course, how can you be unhappy when you don't remember? and i remembered something from the past that helped me block out unhappiness - indifference.
how i can be unhappy with what other people think when i don't give a damn what they think. of course, it is easier not to give a damn if that somebody is not your boss, your friend or even your romantic partner.
indifference has a negative connotation though. a more positive way to state it is detachment. detaching oneself from the situation. this would give me an objective view of what's going on. being personally involved sometimes mean putting your heart and soul to it. nothing wrong unless it means identifying with the work at hand. if something goes wrong or somebody finds fault (fault finders perish!) it all redounds to the self because the work becomes the self.
a faster way to blocking negativity for me is stone walling. i used to be adept in building walls and not hearing what other people say. but that put me in a lot of troubles - for one, i also block out the good vibes.
oh but who cares when you don't give a damn to what people say - be it good or bad. what does matter is what you think of yourself. and what do i think about myself?
this needs more self time for introspection. something i don't have the luxury of. what the heck. i should find time for myself... and that better be soon.

rainy saturday afternoon
why can't i get over this feeling? i'm just hoping that things would be better after july 19. i shouldn't expect it to be. but i'm hoping fervently.
confrontation is better that keeping things inside. and i guess i'm feeling this way because i am not facing this thing head-on. am i being immature? why can't i assert myself? why am i allowing that one person to ruin my day? why am i allowing that one person to make me feel inferior and inept?
i know i am not. i am making lots of mistake because i'm being lax. i'm being lax because i feel that no matter what i do, she will always find something wrong.
