Turbulent times

At the peak of adversity, that's when our character truly develops whether it is for better or for worse. Somehow the universe naturally lets bad predicaments gravitate to one another. Where there is pain, there will be a child poking at it. And all of it somehow culminates at the most inconvenient of times. And we are not alone in the battle within ourselves, there is one raging in each one of us. Some of course more than others. But we shouldn't discredit each other and think for a second ours is of more grieve importance. Bad things happen to good people and the more you live, the more you accept the fact that bad news is just a matter of 'when' not 'if'.  There are many ways people choose to deal with their adversity, some retreat to a virtual world where they are king, others result to cigarettes and alcohol. A different kind of reality. Bad times don't last, well they do if you allow it. Move along.

I used to spend days here with friends and family without a care in the world. A much simpler time where your biggest responsibilities were your own. Nobody to represent, to rely on you and look to you for guidance. The expectations are deafening and stakeholders diverse. MSLS is in three days, arguably the biggest annual event UKEC has. And here I am. I was moments ago staring onto a blank piece of paper try

Anger and Frustration

Paralyzing anger is one thing but a constant pulsating frustration is another. I seem to be experiencing one or the other more and more often. It distracts sometimes but could also be transferred to intense focus. It really does depend on the nature of the source. So many triggers. Who is really directed to? People around me, God, or the universe conspiring against me. Or does it stem from me? I'm just tired, I probably need sleep. I apologise to my future self in retrospect for sounding grim. I'll try to follow up with a step-by-step to remedy this soon, post exams.
