I excuse my failures with a fancy word called "procrastination" and dream up endless accomplishments but don't want to do the work that goes with it. I'm finally beginning to see it as a problem rather than just one of those relatable things you laugh at on tumblr. They (whoever they are) say that the first step to solving a problem is realizing that there is one, hence this board. I feel that with my habits right now, I'm on a fast track to middle aged obesity and earning an appearance on either "My Strange Addiction" or "Hoarders". Or worse, I would just end up a lonely homebody living a short life of regret and disappointment.
A problem I have, like many others do is self doubt. I feel that since a lot of people are after the same thing you are and there are people a million times better than you, you should just forget it. Because believing that "you can accomplish anything you put your heart into" is a very naive way of thinking. Or all that other "believe in yourself", "you can do anything" bullshit our elementary teachers and successful people who got there by luck and rich parents spout. So instead I adopted the philosophy that the sun will blow up one day anyways, and we'd all be dead long before that so why the fuck not try having triple orgasms in a single masturbation session? I mean, no one's going to stop me, I have enough time before they return home and I shouldn't miss this chance so why the hell not?
The rambling above is not important, so to go to the point:
What kind of promises, resolutions, and ideas have you had that you keep telling yourself you'll do and end up giving up on or forgetting? What are a list of things you want to do, accomplish, or become that you know you should probably do now before you get old or get die under mysterious circumstances?
Here are a short sample of mine (only the ones I'm not too embarrassed to say and I think are safe to disclose to the internet). Funny thing is, most of them are simple. But I guess I'm just a lazy, wishy-washy fuck. (*I realize this became more of a bucket list)
- Improve drawing skills
- Continue learning Japanese
- Practice social skills
- Take improv class
- Read at least a book a week
- Take pole dancing classes
- Learn how to dance
- Have a healthier lifestyle (lol)
- Climb at least 6 out of the 7 summits
- Bang one celebrity even if that celebrity is Steve Buscemi
- Publish a graphic novel
- Become one of those funny people I admire
- Buy my siblings and parent a house before I leave for my own
My ultimate goal however is to find a way/career that pays me to travel and avoid math as much as possible. I also have another major one in mind that I'm too embarrassed to say (and I'm sorry to disappoint you but no, it does not involve a porno)
