Someone close to me pointed out that I don't spend any time on myself. When I have spare time I do not take care of things that I should. I don't try to learn something I have wanted to know, I don't practice anything that I want to be good at. I hardly even pick up my books anymore. I watch tv, I watch someone else in what they are doing, or I try to find someone who isn't busy to hang out with.
I think the reason that I do this is because I grew up very poor in very dangerous neighborhoods. I went to school, did my homework, and then watched tv with my mom until I got tired and went to sleep. At one point I had a bike, which didn't last long. And at another point I had a Nintendo 64, which again did not last long. I never had a computer, I never had many books, I didn't have access to the knowledge and recreations that I do now.
That's my reasoning, but it's no excuse, and I really want to change it.
It's important to play close attention to yourself or your character.Skills are important if you want to be unique to people that don't have your skills,and personality comes naturally.Or does it?Do you pick your personality?Are you born with one?
ReplyDeleteI kinda like to think that you develop a personality, you do not choose it nor are you born with it.
ReplyDeleteWhen you live on your own, get a library card and turn off your cable/satellite. I promise you will read more an watch less TV -- and I'll bet it will be more to your liking, at least for a while, at least until you find a balance between TV and other activities you enjoy, and can watch TV more in moderation.
ReplyDeleteCheck out your followers: I just realized what an evil group we are. Sauron, Palpatine, a ghost, a ninja -- and that spooky blank face. Creepy.
ReplyDeletePersonality is like an art style, you have it and it's made up what you've experienced and how you perceive things. If you try to choose it yourself you end up copying someone else's style and are never truly yourself.
