Mindless Work

It Begins

I am suffering the repercussions of being forced to grow up too early. I really do mean too early. While I enjoy the person I have become there are several aspects of my being that I am finding extremely difficult to change.

1. Recognizing the fact that I can be focused and have fun at the same time - Some how this idea seems to elude me. I had a good handle on it freshman and sophomore year of college then I focused on my higher education, what a mistake! There are plenty of people in the world who are doing better than I am who did not work nearly has hard as I did in college. What happened to me?
2. The more I try not to mimic my parents the more like them I become- Really generally people eventually think this is a good attribute; however, I am the product of a divorce and remarriage and considering that I feel I highlight the worst traits of my parents this cannot be good.
3. Stress - it will be the death of me, I can almost guarantee it. I do not handle it very well.
4. Almost linked to #3, I have become increasingly emotional. Generally, this would be a good attribute considering I learning very well when I was young how to hide my emotions.

Finally, as adulthood and responsibility loom closer to me the more I want to shirk away.
