In Response to Tired!

Yesterday, I was writing about a blog that complains about my lack of motivation and a prayer of desperation. Funny, my prayer was granted.

I had a talk with a former student of mine. We talked about a lot of stuff in 30 mins. I realized it is good to know how accomplished my student, former, is - knowing that I was once a part of her life and vice-versa. It's nice to hear her struggles in achieving her dreams and how mature she deals with them. Talking to her makes me know and understand her more, and I get the excitement to see her succeed because something tells me, she will.

And it suddenly dawned on me. I found my motivators!

Social Networking: Is it building or burning bridges?

Social Networking is the fad today. Majority, if not all, of urban population knows or even have an account on facebook. If you don't have one, are you even from this planet?

These social networking sites are venue to put all, even congest, all our experiences. It is where he can keep track of how we were years ago and how well we are now. We store pictures and videos, even the random ones. We post memorable moments caught on cam. We update our friends, and even the non-friends, as to the life we are living. From time to time, often, most of the time, we write our thoughts and what we are doing at the very moment. Basically, our account becomes a looking glass to our self. Really?


These kind of sites are superficial. It does provide the viewer a picture of who we are, at least, a scratch on the surface. It doesn't penetrate to the core. If you are looking to expand your range of friends, try spending time with them. (wait, let me read naruto first... and because I'm bored to what I'm writing, remind me why I wrote this blog)hahahaha

Tired!

Man, I can't even begin to imagine what will I become... I've been in this cycle long enough to get very acquainted with the feeling but not enough to console me that this feeling is temporal. I feel so useless and depressed, maybe. I've read a lot of books on seeing life positively, but why can't I? To always believe in the goodness of others, sorry I just can't see it in everybody.

I'm a mess but should I lie to myself that I'm in good shape just to look at me positively. And in turn, look at the world in a brighter vision?

Life always has problems and these problems are fleeting, so Bro. Bo says. But Bro, these problems of mine are not familiar, they're like the ebb and tide of the sea. Here now, gone later, and it's back. Perhaps, I haven't solved them and haven't learned the lesson these problems want to teach me. The fact that I know that some problem exist, I know that I need to do something about it. However, I lack the motivation to do it. I get excited to solve it one day and get lethargic the next. This always remains unsolved.

So I pray in desperation that God would listen and answer my prayers. Lord, give me the motivation, then let me see it, let me appreciate it, give me the strength to fight against discouragement. So that after all these, I can see my worth.
