Hmmmm....

There's times in your life when suddenly you are doing so much, you feel you are running out of time. Odd, because this generally follows a phase when you are so vella you are climbing walls in boredom and despair! But I guess that's the way life balances you out - like the thing about how if you laugh too much, you are bound to feel low the next day?

Anyways I'm digressing, so I was saying, I guess it does make me appreciate the value of leisure time, but you know what? I'd rather my days were more like they are now. Full of activities. Places to go to, chores to finish up, classes to attend, friends in town whom I can meet up and chill out with, talk my heart out with...

Yesterday by 11 pm, I was mentally exhausted. I'd had a full day, with errands, classes, a meeting with a Professor, meeting my bum-chum pal for a walk and heart-to-heart session (she's down for a holiday and I miss these chats we have, when she's away), talking to yet another bum-chum pal on the phone, catching up with my folks about what's happening...*phew* But now that I look back, exhausting it may have been, but it was one of those 'feel-good' days, you know what I mean?

Seriously I'm increasingly becoming aware of how I detest inactivity and prefer staying on my toes...
For one, it prevents boredom.
Two, it sure stops your mind from digressing into forbidden territories, automatically keeping a firm grip on any unwanted thoughts from entering your mind and leading you down the path of sadness.
Not to mention that great effect it has on my temper - I no longer have the energy, or time, to lose my head at small little things that would earlier ignite me in seconds!
And to top it all, I feel good about myself - I'm doing stuff, accomplishing things, settings goals, reaching out to higher things in life..ain't that the way life is supposed to be lived?

(Btw this doesn't mean that you won't hear me cribbing about how exhausted I am, a few weeks down the line..hahaha!! )
