Stay still and keep quiet!

 Ambling along the slippery isle of my perception, deep inside of that dark hole, the light burst in and I know I'm awakening. I have heard about that word several times in the past, but I had never actually had any remarkable insight of it, yet I know I'm awakening, at least for this moment, in this phase of my life. I have contemplated many things, along with multiple questions I have been asking myself, I also look back every route that I took when facing the crossroads and I saw a giant problem which has troubled me for a quite long period of time. 

Everything happened to me naturally in a way that I had no idea how it worked, without my being aware of it. I just know I have experienced enough to see I need to stop and start all over again, to be myself and to find peace in my soul. The day I left my family to have a life out there, I had always been blaming myself for interacting with other human beings and for fitting in with the community. I had a very strong acknowledgment on the conversion of myself being a thoughtful introvert into an arrogantly delusional monster. But back then I was not ripen enough to eliminate those evil thoughts and I got lost in that dark map of delusion. 

After turning two significant dead ends in my 20s, I have finally seen through my problem regarding directions and I decided to turn around and get myself out of those hopeless alleys. Especially when the light of awakening has hit me so hard that I can see it clearer than ever and I can stop it right before it starts to get worse. 

 I have told in my previous posts about jobs I used to do and I can proudly say that I'm a hard working person, I'm not afraid of any challenges to come. I had pushed myself into a large pool of pressure too hard, to not let me fall back in depression again after my first breaking up, and it brought me severe consequences that I still feel cringy sensing back. Forcing yourself to work restlessly just makes everything worse, I'm sure of that, yeah you may have no free time for vicious thinking or tormentingly crying, it does help in a short-term manner but honestly, it's not a long-term solution.

I did get better after independently healing myself by filling my days up with several jobs but when I stopped, I was like a snake without its head, I didn't know where to go and I had nobody to lean on which caused me to run around looking for one magical mentor. I even lost myself, instead of following my appointed plan, I tried to imitate every influencer I had seen and I ascribed my action as finding inspiration. In that phase of my life, I tried to fool myself that I was living to the fullest and that how enjoyment was, but of course, I was wrong. I had lost one and a half years wasting my time in purposeless searching and I'm not sure if there was any satisfaction I actually had or it was just nostalgia hunting me every night. 

In the middle of December, 2021, I once again fell into the same condition after forcing myself to work continuously. I had taken a rest for a few days and guess what, I was completely out of my mind, I let my inner thoughts flow out like a spring and disturbed other people around me because I couldn't stand being calm and quiet or I couldn't bear to stay still. It was like I was still in the exploiting motion of my exhausting momentum and my mind was not empty enough to figure it out. I've got to admit that beside of me myself reading books and awakening, there's another person contributing to my success in finding my peace back, he had lead me to the right track and I need to thank him for that. The second time suffering that syndrome, I have realized it faster and I immediately solved it. What a relief!

Believe me, if you're done with your heavy workloads, please stop and keep quiet, you will see miracles!

MY WORK HISTORY

  MY WORK HISTORY  According to the to-do list that I made some days before, the second entry below that of taking the IELTS test is job hunting , that's the reason why I write about this topic today.  In this post, I'm going to write about my childhood dreams, jobs that I used to experience in the past and my career aspiration for a better future.  My childhood dreams I'm nothing special. At least that is what I have realized at the age of 26, but winding the timeline back nearly 20 years, I really knew nothing, I didn't see the truths about us, humans, about how tiny we are compared to the universe. I thought I was special and unique and I would become someone important some days, someone really really great. I had dreamed of becoming a prime minister, a writer, a journalist or an English teacher. I did make it in some fields and still, what I haven't achieved gradually diminished along with the devastation that the adult world has caused to me.  My choices An...

FATAL ATTRACTION

  Today I watched the notorious Fatal Attraction (1987) starring Glenn Close and Michael Douglas. The movie is that same kind of erotic thriller which was quite popular back to the day. In these movies, sex is always the main drive of crime and obviously we have seen so many men and women on screen recreated all the scariest incidents happened by the loss of control of some psychopaths.  I was one of them. If you want to know about my past love story, I'm happy to tell and admit that I was a psychopath. I was really mad and out of control. I tortured my ex lover every night and I didn't care about the consequences I would face in the near future. I haunted her like a ghost crying everyday asking for a reconciliation. So pathetic I was. Watching Fatal Attraction, I felt like I was seeing a bad joke on myself which is so sardonic. I can't believe I did behave the same way as Alex did. I was like out of my mind and made a fool of myself. I totally understand the borderline p...

So we're all damaged huh?

  How damaged am I? It might take you 10 years more... You're too young, even younger than your age. That's what he told me after we entwined our bodies in each other's arms, and also after half a year without seeing each other's face.   I've got to admit, I need to be honest with myself that he was one of the reasons for my constantly surging depression. I had climbed up every single step to escape from the dark basement of suffering, but now once again, that shadow being has reached the tip of my toe, slowly lured my mind, misled me to lose my wisdom, to succumb to the haze of lust and longing. This is my blog, every piece of stories that has made up my life after nearly 10 years leaving the warmth and protection of my family, so I want to be the truest, most honest version of myself here. I don't want to hide anything here. And in fact, it's been a long time since I last updated it. Therefore, I know, I should write this story out.  I started to have se...
