Stress

It's amazing to see how people at this time manage to include and accept stress as a part of their everyday life. But "stress" has such a sheer definition...so I decided to change the meaning to: physical, mental, tension, and strain put upon oneself that causes physical, mental, tension, and strain actions toward others.
Ok...so I just tweaked the definition a tiny bit but it is true. I've noticed that those who are constantly experiencing stress makes the others around them feel anxiety, oppression, and affliction. How you ask? Well, since stress is a hazard to the human health, don't you sometimes feel worried about an individual who seems to put under a lot of tension? Or maybe, you might have felt the constant noodge of the stressed individual because they seem to talk about how much stress they're in rather than actually trying do something to release the tension.

Why this random post about stress? Mainly because I’m beginning to feel the impact it has upon me. As I look at my calendar from now until spring break, I see only one free weekend. I seemed to have made my once socially active life to a life analogous to that of a working adult. So my lesson is to hold the tension I’ve placed upon myself and not let others feel my hectic lifestyle. This is also a lesson to me that I need to learn how to say "no" and actually mean it. *sigh*...I guess that's what I get for wanting to find my talent and finding an interest to every single activity. I am truly amazed, however, about those individuals who have even MORE than what I have to do...if only i can have "magical powers" like them. meh.

a little stain

Why is it that no matter how presentable and beautiful an outfit could be, it would receive no compliments but only ugly stares and remarks on how hideous the tiny stain is?

Sadly, in today's society, others would hate even the most decent and wonderful person just because of one careless mistake that occurred. That's the problem with people in this system; we seem to put more attention to the flaws of others rather than to their good qualities. Because of this, I've seen people who once held onto a strong friendship, break it because of one mistake the other person made. We seem to forget that every other person living on this earth is imperfect and that we're imperfect too. So maybe, we just need to learn to understand that mistakes happen and to concentrate on the qualities that make us attached to the other person. It may also be wise to note to try our hardest to make sure that the same mistake doesn't happen the second time around.
