Probably the worst feeling you can ever feel. Especially when you are disappointed in yourself. I think it beats sadness or angry or what. Because disappointment is you know that you didn't give in your best shot. You know that this was not what you are capable of. That you didn' do the best that you can. Not to say that you know you can achieve great things, but you know very well that you didn't give in your all for it. That somewhere, you lack that passion in it. That you just aren't giving a better damn about that thing. When you should.
I used to think that I am those who will give in my best in everything I do. But lately, I don't see it. And freak it's disappointing to see myself be like that. It's like somehow, I just stop having passion in anything. That somehow, when you lost that passion, it's pretty hard to find it back. What's gone is gone. And it freaking sucks. And somehow, I don't know. It's just a really very strange feeling.
And yes, that disappointment in yourself. That you know that somehow, you decided to just accept fate and let life be. It freaking hell sucks. I know lately my posts have been nothing but pretty negative stuffs but I guess I just have to let this out. I really don't know where I'm going with this degree and everything currently. And it pretty much sucks because I just let myself to be thrown in this current and struggling to keep afloat and not doing anything to actually get out of this. It's like I just gave up. It's like I'm just going to continue struggling until I can see a shore. But how long will that be? How long more can I stay afloat until I see a shore? Because right now, that shore doesn't seem to be in sight. Not even close. And yes, I know I'm barely holding on to stay afloat. At any moment, I may drown so badly.
And then what happens? What happens if I drown? Who will come and save me? Am I waiting to be saved? Should I be waiting to be saved? Because that's not what I should be thinking. I should be thinking of how to swim forward. How to beat the freaking current and swim towards the shore. Not float along until I reach the shore. Because floating along doesn't guarantee anything. You can float along for ages and you still won't reach the shore anytime soon. And when a huge strong wave comes towards you, you won't be able to just float along. You will get beat down by the strong wave and drown.
That's not what I should be doing. I know that. I freaking hell know that. All these stuffs, I know it. I know that I should stop saying and freaking do it. I know that I've been saying this since the end of time. It's time and again. Always repeating all of this. Why the hell do I bother typing all these out when I know? When I freaking know that I am not doing anything to my life. That some part of me is slowly giving up. And I am not fighting back. Is that how I want my life to be? To be just going with the current. To just be merely floating and not getting anywhere and just float along until I see whichever shore that seems to be alright. And just settle for it.
No. That's not what I freaking want. My dreams, my goals. What the hell happened to them? How did life get to busy and I get so caught up with everything that I forget about all these aspirations and what not. My passion for things I love. Things that I truly can relate to and things that I know it's something that I want to do. What the hell happened? I have no freaking idea.
Yep, ok I am actually alright. It's just that rejections are hard to deal with. I thought I was good in handling rejections but I guess when the number starts to increase, your confidence starts to drop too. I know that the part of me that got me to be part of the exco in photog in J1 is still somewhere in me. Some part of me is still like that. Who still wants to fight to get what I truly want. Who is passionate about things she loves. Because yes, I know that out of all things that I happened to get in life, that was the one thing that I went through without any luck because I didn't know any of the previous exco well beforehand. That they accepted me into exco because they saw something in me. What they saw, I have no idea. I don't even know if I actually did a great job during my term. But I guess they did saw something. Because I remembered I felt freaking terrible after the interview because I thought I blew it so badly. And it was something that I really wanted.
Ok yes, I think I know what it is. It was something that I really wanted. Because I showed that I really wanted to be part of the exco in photog. I guess yea, that's it. I need to find something that I truly want. Heck, not just that actually. If I sign up for anything, even if it may not be something that I really want, I need to learn to love it still. Because yes, freaking life does not always let you get what you really want. You can't always get what you really want. First, you need to earn it. And show it. And even if you don't get it, you don't freaking give up. I'm sure there are other things that you won't mind. Take a chance. Don't say No until you try it.
But yes, I guess the sincerity in it. You may not like it initially, but grow to like. Because yes, of course you want to find something that you really want to get it. But you can't always get what you want. So you don't just sit there and sulk and cry. No. You find an alternative. Not a back up. Something that you know you can do too. Something you can grow to like and have passion in.
I think that's the thing about me. I can't lie. I can't pretend to like and have passion in something when I don't. Or rather, the passion isn't strong enough. Honestly, I really wondered how I got through to photog exco because yea, maybe at that moment, my passion for photography was pretty solid. Though that passion isn't as solid right now, I guess at that point in time, it was great. It's pretty interesting though I swear. If I could, I would really want to ask my seniors why did they choose me over the other candidates. What exactly did they see in me that was different? It's really strange. Not that I doubt my capabilities. Ok I'm slightly doubting. Lol! But not in the negative and all emotional way. It's just yea, sometimes you just question your abilities.
I guess that's why I'm disappointed in myself. Because it's not that I can't. It's that I'm not putting in the effort. Disappointment is really the worst kind of feeling because there is that alternative there. You know that you can do so much more. You know that you are not at your best. You haven't brought out the best side of you.
People always say that someone bring the best side out of them. But freak, why not you bring the best side out of yourself. I know that it may sound strange and feels like I'm just trying to weave this in. But somehow, I feel that all these self-doubting and stuffs, all these unsure feelings of myself and lack of freaking confidence, I feel that it has to do with my uncertainty with Christianity. I believe in God. I do. But you see, I'm not doing much. I'm not doing anything. And I have so many questions about Christianity that I haven't yet to explore them and try to find answers for them. There are so many questions. And especially when so many things happened lately, the questions keep increasing. And I guess I just need to find some time alone with God and really sit down and read the bible properly and I don't know. Do something.
What I really need to do is slowly get my life in check. I want to be able to say I am a Christian confidently when someone asks for my religion. Not to say about getting baptise or what, I mean my heart. I want to be sure that I truly believe in God and this faith. Yea, I guess it's something that takes time and only I can do it. To slowly figure out all these things. If you need help, ask for it. I'm pretty sure there are quite a lot of people out there who will help you with this. Take my own mother and sister for instance. They will be more than happy to help you answer these questions.
So yes, I need to stop beating myself up and remember that you are stronger than this. You are better than this. And you have good qualities in you that you probably know but forget sometimes. Not to be all ego. But yes, I ain't a terrible person. Not even close. Just need to slowly settle this messy life that I caused myself to be in. Self-discovery. HAHA! Ok, maybe not self-discovery but more of really just getting my life straight out. I know some people can work with their lives in a mess but I think I can't. As in I can for now because I still need to finish my semester well and I don't have that much time to sit and think. Even typing this blog post isn't something I should be doing actually. But yea, I need to really get everything cleared up because there is just no direction and I think I need to have some sort of direction in life. It doesn't have to be a very clear one but I need something at least.
Alright. I feel slightly better typing this out. And yes, I promise that the future posts will be better and stop being all negative about life and what not. Maybe I should just post about all the trips and stuffs that I have yet to post about instead of all these random rants and breakdowns and questioning about life.
