An idiosyncrasy of Canberra is that bus drivers often go the wrong way. That often happens. I caught the same bus going out and then coming back, and both drivers went the wrong way. One involved a significant detour. On both occasions they backtracked by going the right way but in the wrong direction.
^A passion doesn't need to be related to how you make your money, it can be about how you spend your free time. Following a passion creates meaning in life
Following a passion implies you have a passion to follow. Not everyone has a passion. I certainly don't have anything I'm passionate about.
I have a really bad habit of procrastination. Not because I choose to be lazy by choice, but because I'm scared. I spent over a week crafting this cover letter because I was afraid of sending it, afraid it wouldn't be good enough, afraid that I might not even qualify for the job. So, I spent days adding and subtracting from it, trying to sell myself (which is hard enough in itself) and also trying hard not to exaggerate. After I hit the "send" button, I suddenly feel lighter as if a huge stone has been lifted off my chest. Whew!
I'm in the process of crafting another cover letter but couldn't find the contact person to address the letter to, so I did the unthinkable: contact the company! During the itneraction, I was really nervous because I never done this before, but in the end I'm glad I did! The cover letter is optional (in the job app), but according to many sources online, a cover letter is recommended to get an edge over other job seekers. I couldn't help but feel really dumb because I read that some recruiters don't read cover letters, but then again, I got out of my comfort zone and who knows, something unexpected might happen.
Sometimes I think I at least look 18. Apparently not, even with makeup on. I went to buy cigarettes for someone today and the lady at the counter looked at me like, "Yeah, right" and then after examining my ID told the cashier "She's good," meaning even though I look young my ID is legitimate.
I have to fully come to terms with this somehow, it's just so hard because I'm going to be 24 in October and I apparently look between 15-17, which is just downright embarrassing. Feel like a freak. But I've whined about this enough on this site.
I try to stay positive, but some days I really do hate my life. The problems I have seem insurmountable. I should have friends and look like an adult but instead it's like I'm stuck in awkward teenage mode for life.
The ancient sages said "do not despise the snake for having no horns, for who is to say it will not become a dragon?" So may one just man become an army.
