Well, for starters, I couldn't move out today because HAHA THE FUNNIEST THING HAPPENED A COUPLE OF HOURS AGO! My cousin and I got locked out of the flat. (For 2 1/2 hours.) So we started talking about why asians are smart academically but they don't create* awesome things like Apple. So we started talking about Steve Jobs. Then started dancing. Then started acting. Then started talking in weird accents. Then started singing self-written songs. (Y) ttm. XD
BUT that's not the awesome part. Oh, btw, I went to my cousin's Qualifying Session Dinner (which is a main meal we asians usually call "lunch") today. It was awesome. It was held at Lincoln's Inn Church(?) and it was pretty grand. Harry Potter-ish. We met 2 sisters who were absolutely hilarious! They kept poking at each other. The older sister taught French and she said I actually nailed the "r" when I tried speaking to her. She was really nice, she said I've got a good accent, which is rare for non-native speakers. SO YAY!
BUT AGAIN, that's not the awesomest part. Okay, the awesomest part was sort of the first paragraph(?).
ie. I got locked in a room. And I found myself setting myself free.
Like in doing accents,
I stopped saying "I couldn't do the American accent"
and started playing around with it
and now, according to my cousin, I'm heading on the right track! :D
Like in dancing,
my cousin stopped saying "I can't dance for nuts"
and started actually dancing
(to our own "Apple Bottom jeans, boots with the fur"
and Footloose and Grease and Hairspray lmao)!
Like in singing self-written songs,
I stopped saying "I wish I could write songs"
and started singing pretty decent lyrics!
So I guess what I'm trying to say is that sometimes the most unimaginable things may actually help you with something you've been trying at or have given up on.
Perhaps it's cause we've been giving ourselves excuses/things-to-do that we've been putting it off?
Perhaps it's cause we've been taking the traditional approach and it just didn't work out for us?
Perhaps it's cause we've been taking the traditional approach and it just didn't work out for us?
I don't know, but so yes, TRY SOMETHING NEW! Every month! Or every week! Or EVERYDAY! (Like lock yourself out for instance!) You might just find something new* worth pursuing seriously. ;)
