I thought I would be more inclined for nature exploration but I find myself more inclined indoors instead. I rarely take the initiative to meet others now. It's really odd. Usually I would be rushing out the door to meet all of my friends but this time, I'm rather silent.
I don't know if that's a bad thing or not. I find myself dreading company these days. It's just easier to be with your own thoughts sometimes and since I hardly need any entertainment, it has become quite a perfect arrangement.
It's only been two days so far but I really am digging this holidays. For once, I'm not preoccupied with finding a job. I'm just chilling and it feels so damn good. I never thought 'me-time' was so important until now. Having time to yourself can really work wonders in ways I've never imagined before.
Literature is changing me, isn't it? I think my writing has really improved from where it was three months before. Through this major, I've been exposed too many literature and through their writings, finally understand why people consider writing a form of art. I've never been too careful of how my words are crafted onto pages, but when you read our predecessors' writings, you cannot help but marvel at its excellence. In turn, I'm slightly more careful of my words now.
"I shall continually strive for excellence in my writings and my thoughts."
"I will do my best in my writings and my thoughts."
"Thy writings shalt cease not to excel as shalt thy thoughts."
Just reading these three sentences above and I am sure you can guess which era they are from. Isn't English amazing? I've never really appreciated English as a language till now. And it's just making me so much happier than before.
Happiness is self-sought, hmm?
In any case, I have plans for tomorrow. I'm going to strike off the first item on my unwritten list and actually go for some nature exploration on my own. I'm sure it'll be fun since it's been a really long time since I did that anyway.
Tomorrow will be a good day if I believe it so.
“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassions, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
– Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
"So, fret not my child, let not your worries disturb your mind," said she, "your sufferings are not in vain, for they have made you the beautiful person you are."
