Though, I recently found out that horror movies help to relieve my stress :) Like yesterday I watched this movie called "Gothika." Today, I watched this video called "HELL NO: The Sensible Horror Film" on YouTube and I enjoyed it very much! The video goes against the usual horror movies and it's funny.

Chapter 8 Lighten Up!
I can make a statement that this chapter is probably the most important chapter for me. I seriously need to learn how to "Lighten up!" People who don't know me well describe me as a cheerful person and smiling all the time. However, I truly don't know how "to be the first to find humor in stressful situations" (139). For example, I don't like to procrastinate when it comes to assignments. Then, I try to do everything at once and I fall into stressful situations. Apart from school work I have part time job and after school activity (Of course, there are others out there who are going through a tougher time). Outwardly there seems to be no trouble...Like I'm balancing everything perfectly, yet it's often too late when I realize I'm experiencing mental exhaustion. Suddenly it occurs to me that I'm finishing books on my way to school (on trains)... I stay up till three in the morning to study and wake up at seven again to go to school... I'm spending my afternoon working at part time job or doing after school activity instead of staying with my friends... I use up my morning and lunch time studying in the library.... I have a quarrel with my parents because I come home late when I come back from my after school activity... My house is not located near ICU and I'm not at home most of the time...We have arguments about how I don't have time to clean up my messy room... My parents tell me to inform them whether I'll have dinner or not and I forget to do so... With that I realize I am leading a somewhat irregular private life and how much trouble I am causing my parents. Sometimes, I feel like just giving everything up or go easy on myself but I can't. I think too much and this is a flaw in my character. I appreciate my friends for telling me to be positive but it will take me some time because of who I am.

Yeap, I know exactly what youre going through:)
ReplyDeleteI dont know if I can say much because I live near the school but I think its just better for all of us to accept life as the way it is. I feel like sometimes, we just raise our standards too high which makes it hard for us to realize that we're living a good life. lighten up:) everyone knows youre trying your best!

Hang in there, Moeka. I bet your parents are actually proud as can be that you are working so hard, even if it does cause a little conflict. And horror movies to relieve stress, I can see how that would work.
