Tell us about something you know you should do . . . but don’t.
I know I should do things in moderation, but I don’t. What usually happens is that I fall in love with something and get addicted to it. Soon enough I lose interest and get bored, so I forget about it. Now, if what I’m doing truly added meaning to my life, then I would miss it and go back to it. That is, even if it was overdone and overused, it would still be special to me. Sometimes, that doesn’t always work.
The best part about this post is that it is making realize what I truly cherish in this life. I love my family and friends and everyone that left an impression on my life. I love writing, eating, watching movies and doing all sorts of activities. Part of my love for writing has flourished in this blog. I would never have become what I am today. A blogger. A successful one. Well, that is yet to come. My love for writing and blogging is very addictive. But then I get bored, so I would start blogging again and get bored all over AGAIN. It’s a constant battle, but I could never let it go. I will never stop blogging just as long as I’m alive.
My goal is to do things in moderation, so that they last and when I don’t like them anymore I can let them go. I don’t have to go through the getting “bored” part. All I need to do is to do things in moderation. With EVERYTHING. Don’t even get me started when it comes to food. I would eat something everyday for a month, but then never eat it again. Got the cycle?
Great insight, but I want to add 1 thing. The frustration part is relatable to all of us but maybe it shouldn’t be described as a “battle”, because without it you wouldn’t know the meaning of things. For example, you wouldn’t savor the amazing taste of scrambled eggs if you didn’t get bored of it at some point and went for poached instead. To an extreme point, people’s affections fluctuate in relationships too, so that they fall in love with each other all over again. Smart couples know when to tug the rope and when to loosen it to maintain what they have for a long time; otherwise, things run cold and end. It applies to everything if you think about it.
You are right, but things don’t always work that way. Sometimes if you loosen things too much they will fall and break.
