Weird but Funny

I call this post that only because I told somebody that what he told me was weird but funny.

Transition. As my sister has so wisely written, this season has been one of opportunity and...whatever else. (I forget easily nowadays, okay?) But really, this past month has been overflowing with transitions, both minutely minuscule and gigantically humongous (not, it is not "gimongous"; what kind of word is that anyway?) ones. I know that I haven't mentioned this before, but a while ago, my sister told me that I seem so much happier and so much less "grouchy" now than before. Even though I myself had not come to that realization until I was told of it, I recognize it now. When I do take the time to ponder it, that is. And I know exactly why I am so happy! You should, too. Be happy, that is. There's really no reason for anybody to not be happy. I mean, unless you encounter some personal tragic event every single day of your life. Then I empathize with you. For you? Yeah, I never really grasped the use of that word.

Anyway, it is now a quarter until two in the afternoon and I am really wondering when I am ever going to begin my chemistry homework, which I know will take forever plus a day (or two) because I hate doing labs. In addition to a lab is bookwork, but fortunately the bookwork I can do efficiently. Most of the time. I don't know about today, though, because I am so tired! I napped for about an hour earlier, but that didn't do much. I was up since before the break of dawn (5:46) this morning and couldn't fall back asleep, so I had a phone conversation (no, not by myself) for nearly an hour and proceeded to go out to "jog". I'd say it was quite a productive and pleasant jog. I returned around nine and ate breakfast, then did absolutely nothing as I attempted to do a bit of chemistry bookwork in the midst of absolute coldness! Seriously, it was so cold that I couldn't even write right. So I just stopped and went to nap.

And now here I am, awaiting lunchtime...
Well, yeah. Commercial breaktime now!

Okay, here I am again, after fifteen minutes. And now I have absolutely no idea what to say anymore because there is one thing that I cannot get off my mind, and it is driving me frustrated. How can I possibly do chemistry homework now?! You know, now I wish that I had done all my work yesterday so I could just do whatever (more like nothing at all) today. But obviously, that is not possible. Dagnabbit.

Yeah, so I'll just stop here for now. Perhaps there will be an addendum later on, if I just so happen to find the time. Goodness.

Until later (whenever later may turn out to be)...
Enjoy yourselves.

Talking about T1D

I used to tell people, "I am diabetic" or "I am a diabetic" and I never liked saying that because it wasn't something that people reacted positively to, or it wasn't something that everybody understood.  Previously, I wrote about my first taste of empowerment , when I (finally) learned in middle school to give myself injections. Undoubtedly, this turning point also brought about a change in attitude. Until then, I used to constantly be frustrated or angry about having diabetes, about not being able to do X/Y/Z, about being micromanaged by my parents. After I learned to administer injections to myself and especially after I started using the insulin pump, I began to feel more control over and ownership of my condition. I no longer had to rely on my mother or the school nurse, and I could take insulin whenever, for whatever I wanted to eat (within reason) or glucose reading I needed to correct.  One day, I had an epiphany: that what I had been tell

Becoming Happier

Image
I can't always make other people happy. It's hard to do and even harder to admit. I spent years making decisions and commitments based on what I thought others wanted or needed, forgoing the better decisions for and commitments to myself. I tried to convince myself that seeing other people happy made me happy, but alas, they were only fleeting moments. On the occasions I failed to make somebody happy, I became disappointed. On the occasions somebody was completely unappreciative, I became angry. Furthermore, I can't ever base my happiness on one person, or any group of persons. I have to find happiness on my own terms, and that means asking myself what I want, and actually doing it. (from " Reflections ", January 2018)  You know the saying, "Do what makes you happy"? Well, I've been trying that out for the past year or so, and it really works. It took a lot for me to realize that I hadn't been happy, and it took a long time for me to become h

Things I Wish I'd Known

I don't need to try to please everybody. As valiant and commendable of an effort as one can make, it is impossible to make everybody happy. While happiness can ensue via acts of service for others, I've come to realize that it also has to be actively pursued by asking myself what I want .  A good relationship with my parents is just as important as a good relationship with anybody else. In middle school, I began to "rebel", and in doing so, I of course often upset my parents, and began to communicate with them less and less about my daily goings-on. Meanwhile, I began to develop deep relationships with friends and later romantic relationships with boy(s). A part of me thought that it was a trade-off--either relationship with my parents or relationships with my friends. And I made a choice. But really, there was truly no reason it couldn't have been both.  Not every relationship (the general sense of the word, not just the romantic sense) needs to stay a relatio
