The Attitude
Saturday, May 31st, 2008#1. I was playing basketball with four other people. I just met them yesterday and three of them were friends: the atmosphere let me know that I was not welcomed. In general, I would not join such group and such group would not invite me to play with. However, my new friend was far more outgoing to ask three random people to play together. I was very reluctant but did not say no. What can I do. I just played.
#2. In the middle of the game, I realized that I was not excited about playing this basketball game at all, although it is my favorite sport of all time. Then I stopped challenging. That was it.
#3. All of sudden, I realized that my attitude toward life has changed into an opposition direction. I am clearly not the type to push myself to the maximum anymore, but I do remember the moments when I jumped into five defenses to make a shot; I do remember the moments when I stayed up all night just to finish my essay; I do remember the moments when I was excited about myself.
#4. I have noticed that my activity level, these days, is extremely low. It is not only because I quit caffeine, but also because I quit running up to the point where I run out of breath. I have become pessimistic about my life: regardless, it will be as it is. That somewhat holds the truth, in fact.
#5. Yes, that is the question: “What would I do with my life?” At this point, when I have realized that there is no given reason or purpose of a life, what would I do with my life? I thought I had my reason to live, and that was such a precious thing to me. But when it flies over my head, but when it has left my small hand, but when it had left nothing but screams in my bed, what would I do with my life?
#6. And yes, I have to admit that this is a total bullshit to explain why I stopped going to classes, on top of my low blood pressure.
