Another friday, another psychology class. I positively love it.
The issue today is that, while we are driven to want to protect, we must first understand - The calling is one that requires us to go beyond that of grades.
that one that demands respect must first learn to respect others.
They must have responsibility, sometimes paper chasing is a necessity,
but please don't lose your self, do not lose your ability to empathize with others.
you must not blame others for your mistakes, for the choices that you made in your life.
do not blame your unhappiness on another. It is unfair.
Marcia's idenity status and the need to influence self concept was also introduced. guess I shan't bore you with the technicality of the theory.But I figure, a huge part of my life hovered between foreclosure and moratorium.
I'm always daddy's little girl, and none but his approval is paramount in my decision making..
All these were suppose to surface during adolescence,
but I guess, I was a late bloomer,
or maybe because the stressors only came in very recently.
I was fortunate that during the early years, I have friends, and love ones that conform to that model in my life..
but now that I have only just started my career, the need for more independence is exciting.
and thats why.. the experts established adolescence as ( 12 - 22 years) and adulthood ( 22 - 34 years).
I think it can't be truer.. we just don't fly by adolescence that quickly, if i can be persistent, maybe i am still in the adolescence age!
Okay, that's too far fetch, my sis.. yeah definitely.
I suppose, the more sheltered the environment, the slower do people move out of adolescence.
the road to self discovery, the societal push that requires you to do it fast is a pressure that can't be diminished.
On a separate note, I have just finished giving my legs a shave.
sometimes i prefer having it done over at STRIP.
love the after shave lotion that leaves the leg feeling all soft and velvety.
DIY products , no matter how nourishing is bound to leave the skin feeling tight after shower.
Hence I decided to try this:
it is light, non creamy and I could almost instantly feel the tightness diminish.
(hopefully its not placebo.) <3
alright, so now its 4.30,I should go and get ready for the date tonight.or maybe I can squeeze some time out for work. :)
[ I have the financial independence,even though its tight, since tuition loan kicked in.
but nothing beats the happy smile on gran's face, when I gave her whatever I could afford to.
the thing is.. we often make the same mistake of taking our love ones for granted.
and the group that top the list is Family. Family, is one thing that can't be compromise.
I must remind myself that, especially in time that I put my career first.
I have the tendency to do so, and I know babe is aware of that.
and he is afraid I'll compromise on our family in the future.
But I hope I'll look back at this post in due time
and rememeber that I never wanted to compromise on my family.
It's not me.
not when, we both look forward to this as much b. :)
