24: Talk about something someone told you that meant a lot.
i was watching one of casey’s videos and he was doing a q&a. and one person asked something along the lines of “how do you find what you’re really passionate about/how do you find what you want to do in life?” and he answered something like “do things. keep yourself busy. don’t take a break because you think you can sit and think about it while doing nothing and come to a conclusion because you won’t. the only way you can come to a conclusion is if you experience lots of things. for some people that’s going to college, for others it’s getting a job or traveling.”
after my first year of college i was thinking of taking a year or semester off to think about what i want to study but after i watched that video i changed my mind
33: Talk about what you do when you are sad.
cry a lot lol. i feel like lots of people try to do other things to distract themselves and make them forget. but sit i my chair/lie in bed and just think about whatever’s making me sad and eventually accept it. also whenever my dad can tell i’m sad he always takes me to restaurants i like lol, and he’ll always come in my room and talk about it with me. recently my mom keeps telling me “if you’re sad, just pretend you’re happy anyway and move on with your life” because lately i’ve been really tired cause i have lots of classes and when i’m tired i’m quiet and she thinks i’m sad. and when she told me that it sounded like she was telling me to stop expressing myself cause she basically told me to act like i’m always happy, and i got really angry with her. i think there’s something wrong with people who seem happy all the time even when they’re alone. when her dad and sister passed away she acted like everything was totally okay, and i think there’s something seriously wrong with that. she was really close with her sister and i expected at least some kind of change in behavior, but there was none. and sometimes she explodes with rage and does terrible things and to me that’s what the result of bottling up all your emotions is. why would i want to be like that
40: Talk about the end of something in your life.
the thing i can think of is the end of high school lol.
i don’t remember if graduation was held on the same day as the last day of school or a day or 2 after. but after like the graduation ceremony my grade went to the country club right next to my house and had a dinner. and then we left to go to someone’s house where they were hosting the project grad thing/party idk (project graduation is this thing that the grade raises money for and that the parents organize. i think the dinner was part of it. some people in college didn’t know what i was talking about so i guess not all schools have project grad. it looks like a lot of work so it makes sense). that was fun. and then after that there was like a “midnight” breakfast at this diner that we all went to. which was actually at 3am or smt. it was gross. and then we went to someone’s house to swim in their pool and it was cold that night so i didn’t. and then we drove up to watch a sunset that was unfortunately blocked by lots of trees.
the end wasn’t that fun for me because half the people that came with us were people i didn’t know or like and one of them was a rude asshole to me and ruined it and i considered punching his face because i was like ‘i’m never gonna see him again. why not?’ but i did end up seeing him again this summer
