It is very beautiful and quite deep, to do something like this once in a while. I talk to myself a lot, but asking myself questions and giving answers to them is not something I have really explored, at least, not so deeply. Although I am a private person to some extents, I am still very excited to do this, so ride with me.
It's almost the end of the first quarter of the year, what have you achieved that you are most proud of?
So, when this year started, I had a lot of goals. Somehow, I have not given up on the ones I haven't been able to achieve till now, because I can still do them. One very challenging goal I set for myself in the beginning of this year is to show up everyday on hive, and write a post every single day. I was scared when I set that goal, because I know how easily I get tired of things. Plus, I was quite a procrastinator as well.
I set my mind to it and since the beginning of this year till this very day, I showed up each day, even on days that it feels impossible. I mean, I am super proud of me for that, it made me realize that I can actually achieve anything I set my mind too. It has inspired me to do more from now on.
Do you think there is a difference between being kind and being nice?
To my knowledge and experience, I believe there is a big difference between the two. In the world of today, being 'nice' is synonymous to being stupid. People are so ready to take advantage of nice people, because they know they have no boundaries and will put up with any rubbish thrown at them. Being kind is being considered and being empathetic, in a way that isn't too extreme.
You are totally in charge of the things you do and allow, you have boundaries and have the nerves to say no to things you are uncomfortable with. A nice person always have issues with saying no, because they probably want everything want to avoid trouble. A nice people will put up with situations, whether they are comfortable or not.
If you had the chance to change anything in your past, will you do it?
You know, if I were to answer this without thinking so deeply, I would say yes. I have made mistakes in the little life I have lived and sometimes I wish to change some things. However, the past is in the past, and changing anything about means the outcomes will be different, and they are things I am totally unaware of. So what's better? What I already know and gotten past already or face something totally unknown and unpredictable? Going through new emotions, all over again; I think that will be very stressful. I will rather learn from my mistakes and make sure to make better decisions in the future.
How has been life after school?
To say it simply, it has been nothing close to how I envisioned it to be; not in a bad way though. However, it's been overwhelming, fun, annoying, amazing, and a lot of other things. I find myself worrying a lot and pushing myself so much. Still, it doesn't feel like I am doing so much. Overall, it's been okay, it's a new phase and I am exploring it; all of it.
If you could go anywhere for a week, where would you go?
The beach!🥺 I think I really need that getaway right now, it will be so refreshing and therapeutic. The beach is my favorite place, and a week there will feel as if I am in paradise.
