I have tons of questions regarding about life experiences through these stupid emotions of mine. What is Love? What is fear? What is try? How? Just one word in each of these questions, the definition is not in my dictionary. 20 years and I have no idea what does these word actually means, how to feel and how to conquer it.Ā Iāve got to stumble upon a huge barrier that i cannot fight through and of all these years I never achieved something big that I have ever been proud of. Yes never! Not that I can think of.
I mean all these years performing and still you have fear and you cannot sing well? Why yes rock and roll they say my voice belongs to but I cant hit the high notes even if I can the next chorus Iāll be running out of breath just struggling, this means Iāve been using the wrong technique for almost 7 years of singing, taken almost 4 years of vocal lessons and I am still struggling. What a waste of money, thinking you had tried but I guess well have not tried hard enough. You think with my voice I can enter The Voice? Probably but I cant even get a third place in the previous competition and no one says my voice actually blows peopleās mind, so it is not good enough and I myself am not satisfied with it too.
Had this terrible feeling of fear in everything I do recently because in this course I have to take some rough criticism and scoldings from some bad tempered chefs and customers, well they say it helps you improve as this is what encouragement and waking you up means. But you know what the weak me do? I run. Run from the criticism, run to a place where people works in a friendly environment well too bad it does not last long. Pretending to be okay and almost shed tears while being explained and told what I did wrong. Afraid to even speak out because I am scared I got scolded even though they say it happens and you will eventually learn to remember as well. Unfortunately in these 2 years unless I am really happy or I see chefs are in a good mood, I will then ask them questions. In these 2 years, I can tell you I am only an average person just looking at the recipes, no improvements from plating, cooking, knowledge nor the cutting skills. Yes I started to wonder whether I am studying what I truly love because I do not know what love is.
Love? I do not know what love is and I have a boyfriend. He is too perfect until I feel like I am a useless person that I should not deserve to have him. I cannot help him solve the problems he was facing but he always finds a way to help me solve mine even giving some encouragement which I am really thankful but I am quite stubborn so encouragement does not work out well in my life. Also, I am terrible in cheering people up even with friends I can run out of words to say for all I know what to say when I see them is āHarlooooā, yes I am weird. They say I should just tell him how I feel when I am upset and needless to say literally just tell him everything as that is how we get to know more about each other and it is also a form of communicate. But i didnāt because I scared if I do he will think I am paranoid, stupid and useless, so most the problems i bottled it up, waiting for it to erupt hopefully not.Ā
Communication barrier happens because I do not speak well in Malay, wait no, itās not just Malay, my first language, Chinese, I ever spoke, I cannot speak it well and this is not the first time because Ok la or Ok ah to people means you have not figured this out in your damn stupid mind, Yes or No are the real confirmation to most questions, its either you want it or you donāt. It shocks my Malay chefs that I actually gotten an A for Malay in SPM, oh well I was as shocked as you too. And yet here I am I do not speak Malay.Ā
Laziness. Why oh why you always interfere in what I wanted to do or achieve? Tell me how do you get rid of it. Well I was never proud nor satisfied with everything about me. Saying change or try is not useful to me at all, I said it and few weeks later I have not change a thing nor do i have the patience to wait for the results. I guess thatās why I never know the answers to these questions, I know what to do but barriers to what it seems like to me I canāt get through it, rusty brain indeed I have and always have malfunctions, I hate it, I hate myself too. Giving myself a hard time, leading towards mental breakdowns.
Tell ME what should I actually do that is really useful?Ā
This is just bullshits I had running through my mind and well I donāt exactly know why I have the courage to post this bullshit but if you did read it I am truly sorry to have wasted your time.Ā
