  • Strange Feeling on Valentine's Day

    It feels weird not really liking anyone in particular, especially on Valentine's Day. It's not like I would have done anything due to my past experiences, but it is just a foreign feeling not having someone on my mind that way. I kind of wish I could start liking someone that way. I mean, I do have crushes, but nothing at a significant level yet. Maybe I will realize how much I actually like a girl in my life or someone new will come into my world. That warm feeling of seeing someone I like; the pounding of my heart in my chest; the complete break down of my ability to speak to her... I kind of miss all of that. Just random thoughts about my non-existent love life. Ha ha.

  • The Darkness Inside

    It continues to grow and I feel like I can't beat it right now. It feeds off of my negativity and I can't control that at the moment. My pessimism is fueled by how I sense others perceive me, which in turn has been fueled by that same pessimism. It is a viscous, self-perpetuating cycle that consumes me and I am losing all motivation to change. I am conscious of what is wrong and whenever I try to fix it, I fall apart before I can fully execute my plan. I still grasp onto a silver of hope, but what will come of it? Will it dissipate and leave a shadow of a man that I once was? Will I be lost forever, tormented by what should have been? I just don't know anymore...

  • We Are All Different

    I hate it when someone compares their life to yours, almost like belittling what you are going through.

    "I have my own issues too, but I suck it up and move forward." Well good for you! Do you want a prize? Not everyone can just pick themselves up and set aside their emotional baggage so easily. While you may be able to endure the problems that come your way, another person may fall apart, so don't make it seem like "if I can do it, so should you". You make that person seem weak, and how does that help them? You are just causing them to feel like shit. Stress and life complications affect people differently. You might be able to brush off a crisis, but someone else can be devastated by it. Being able to place yourself in another person's shoes is difficult when you are biased by your own experiences. Sigh... Just a random rant...

  • Potential To Be A Good Student

    I have proven to myself time and time again that I have the potential to be a great student at UCLA when I give it my all. I have been able to ace finals to save myself from failing with a little hard work, so you'd think I would keep applying the logic of studying hard to get good grades every quarter...
    Sadly, I keep falling victim to disinterest in classes and laziness... I actually can not pass one of my classes now, even if I aced the final, which is very unfortunate... This is a sign of me being a failure, but on the other side of the coin, I actually pretty much aced a midterm for one of my other classes. So, I have to cut my loses and focus all of my time and effort in acing my final for my last class. I keep telling myself that next quarter will be different... Time to make it happen!

  • I Want To Break Down

    I just want to break down and just cry over the struggle that I have with the negativity building up inside of me. I just want to release all of my frustrations and lessen the tension inside. I can feel it getting ready to burst as I push it down in an effort to keep it contained. I don't know if I can keep pretending everything is OK when I am around others, something I must do tomorrow... I should be able to fake my way tough another day, but for how much longer can I keep it up? *Sigh*
