Standstill

Is this what you call a standstill?

I have so much to do: read all my backlog cases for Obligations and Contracts, a weekend away from the make-or-break exam; finish all the articles I'm supposed to do; work on a reviewer; and, pull a group together for a class presentation.

And, with all these under my belt, what exactly have I accomplished?

Nothing.

I'd finish all of these if I started working now, keep moving forward like I always used to, but I can't. What I inconveniently have instead are the following: a sad, splitting headache and growing insecurity--both of which I've never had in this degree before.

I have been opening my ideas and emotions less and less to people, and the only ones who are there for me...well, I can't even point out where the problem begins myself, much less point it out to them. I suppose I do have a penchant for being irrationally emotional at the most random moments.

Or am I? Are these emotions really that baseless? Am I wanted enough? Am I doing the right thing? Am I cut out for this? Do I quit? And no, I'm not just referring to one idea.

In one way or another, it's sad. My acads is the only thing I have going for me, and I'm so close to botching it up. I have to get out of this stressful pattern, really. These are one of the times when I just want to be as upfront and open about my emotions as other people are. These are one of the times when I wish I would stop being so freaking uptight.

And because I know I can't for the simple reason that I don't know how I can be, the only truth I can come up with right now is: I am on a standstill, and I must get out.


PS. This blog has gotten me through the worst times, and I think it's cool how I was able to sustain something for more than almost eight months. But it has served its purpose and is beginning to be more trouble than it's worth. One of these days I'll shut down this blog: it's a question of when, not if.

  1. hey don't quit. isa ito sa mga outlet mo pag down ka. this is one of the places you can be yourself without having the fear of getting jeered at. hindi mo naman kailangan iopen ito everyday. youcan open its once in a while kung kelan tingin mo kelangan mo at kung kelan may oras ka. bukod sa partner mo, dito ka lang pwede may makausap ng matino (aside from your close friends and family)?^_^

  3. alam kong independent ka at hindi mo kailangan ng tao to cry on or to make you feel better. pero at least dito you can talk with people na almost parallel sa views mo (regarding sa pagkatao) you can be yourself katulad g sinabi ko.ayun kaya think it over before you shut this down. sabi mo nga it has gotten you through the worst times. kung trouble man ito ngayon matatapos din yan. stay strong. at pano naman to naging trouble? ^_^
