(IMG) read xiled's latest phlog post [0] and it got me thinking.
(???) t times, I feel the conflict between rebelious teen and adult self
(???) oo. It's one reason I am dragging my feet with getting real work done
(???) ecause my teen self wants to just fuck around like I did in high
(SND) chool. I don't need to get anything done because why should I? I could
(???) ust work on the things I want to do, like random programming, watching
(???) ideos, and generally just a lot of nothing.
(???) f course, I have my adult self too to contend with. This is the side
(???) f me that needs to be valued and respected by others. The side that
nvests in myself, that looks out for how to become a professional in
(???) y field. The side that looks out for future opportunities and doesn't
(???) et my personal connections with others fester.
(IMG) am also affected by others who have this conflict. One of my
(???) oworkers has all of a sudden cut communication with us. For them, the
(???) een self seems to say "something bothered me so I'm just going to cut
t out of my life." I don't know what exactly their real thought
(PNG) rocess is, so it's hard to say whether they really are having a
(???) onflict like this or not.
(TN3) hen there's my fiance who has her own rebelious attitude and this
(SND) hows through overdrinking. In this sense, the teen self is largely
nfluenced by her upbringing, where she was taught to avoid emotions
(???) nd drink away any problems. We are getting through this issue though.
(TN3) hen the adult self is telling her that to be a professional, she has
(???) o go back to school and struggle with it and then she'll be able to
(GIF) et the job she wants. The only trouble is that the teen self
(???) esurfaces when she is at school, the self that says "I don't have to
(???) e held down by homework. I just won't do it." And so, her conflict
(???) ontinues.
(IMG) don't have any larger scale thoughts on this. I guess I prefer to
(???) ake a hands off approach to most of these, because at the end of the
(DOC) ay, I don't fully know what's going on. With my coworker, it seems
(???) lear that this didn't just happen overnight; it's been building. With
(???) y fiance, it feels like a lack of impulse control during stressful
(SND) ituations, and as much as I try to help, there's no guarantee that it
(???) ver will if she's not ready to tackle it.
(???) ence the music I opened the post with whose lyrics are below.
(???) Everyone's got their own set of troubles" is very true and it's
mpossible to judge others without really knowing what they're going
(???) hrough. And sometimes, that information is unatainable.
(???) o then I just try to go with the flow and take it easy.
