Do Something & Stop Whining

The other say, something asked me why the entries seem bleak lately.
If life goes in a cycle, maybe this time round, it is harder to get out of that 'bleak' phrase. The doldrums can be pretty tough to shake off.

These past few days, I have been trying hard to also 'shake off' someone. As much as I would have liked to help her, I realise that being 'nice' and sympathetic is not going to get her back on her feet. She seems to enjoy being the 'victim'...and it gives her the best excuse to feel sorry for herself.

Gosh, I have never been so cold to a person before.
But I have to...rebuff the ways she has resorted in order to seek attention.
Look,...everyone makes mistakes...grave ones too. Everyone has their fair share of good and bad days. However, one should not go around playing the role of the self-sacrificing martyr...and expect people to be grateful to you.


On a slightly different level, I suppose the lesson is applicable to me too.
I know that at the moment, the main worry is the exams. My frustration builds because the input does not quite match the output at the moment. I too have shifted the blame...wondering why I seem to get more high strung than them.

But...this is my choice.
It is me who have chosen to worry, and I know why I have to worry.
So if that is my choice, then I will learn to live with it.

So come on...shake yourself out of this.
Enough already.
Just keep on going and plough out.
I better start listening to what I tell others to do.

Dee...stop whining!
