Heyz I'm taking a break now before I start mugging for the Promos so here I am on the blog. Surprisingly I'm updating on a somewhat regular basis compared to my long absences. Maybe I now find the blog more useful. Hmmm...

Anyway I made an observation while skimming through other blogs. It just occurred to me that when we get into our teenage years, especially the late side, it seems that we get slightly more negative. From negative I mean that we are more depressed about things. More stressed. Yeah I feel it to myself but I didn't really occur to me that I'm not the only one out there. There are some who are worst off than me and others better. Whatever it is, there is a level of sadness/depression in everyone, no matter what that level is. I came to this conclusion from some of the posts that I've read and also some blog designs that may be centred around something sad or depressing.

I guess we do face some amount of stress at this point in time. The weirder part is, we just can't seem to get rid of it. Although the causes for worry or sadness may be gone, we still go find that bit of depression in us. It's quite intriguing I must say. We seemed to have lost the ability to simply shake things off when the burden gets too heavy. We no longer laugh away our problems as often as we once did. Maybe it's the maturity. Being mature causes us to think far ahead and deeper into things. We know that we can't solve a problem by laughing about it so we do not do it anymore. We might have failed to see that such actions, although they do not solve the problem, does help us to cope with it. We now know the one of the only ways to see through a problem is to deal with it. However, we can't deal with all of our problems all at once. We need to solve them systematically. If we burden ourselves by facing all of our problems, hoping to be released from all of them at once, I think that will never happen. Problems appear in our lives all the time. No matter how we try to avoid it, it will still crop up one way or another whether we want it to or not.

The note seems to be rather depressing, seeing as problems will always be around in our lives. However, there are ways to cope with this problem that would not lead us to frequently think of negative emotions like being depressed, sad or worried. Maybe we should take a step back and access the problem at hand. It might be better if we dealt with our problems one by one instead of facing them all at one go. For example, in a strategy war-time game, one should avoid lashing out at the main base with full force. It will be much better to deal with the smaller clusters first as there will be a higher chance of success. Although these clusters will pop up again elsewhere, it will be better rushing into the main base. As for MMORPG, it is certainly better to face a tough boss one by one as there would be time to recover. Facing all the bosses in the entire game all at once, even though your character's abilities may be maxxed, you will find it rather difficult or possibly impossible defeat all of them at once. Maybe we should opt this approach to our problems rather then letting them well up in us and consume us, leaving behind the sadness for us to sink in.

Perhaps. Perhaps. Perhaps. My views on matters seldom do not make sense since I do find it a bit tough to write my thoughts clearly. These are just personal views that I have and may not be reflective of the present situation. Well, it's been about fifteen minutes or more. I guess I'll start studying now. Hmmm... Another post idea just popped up in my head. Maybe I'll deal with it the next time I blog. The Promos will begin soon so I may not have the time or the conscience to come online to blog. But well, I'm no Sybill Trelawney in these things. Then again, Sybill Trelawney only exhibit some Seer abilities at particular times in the Harry Potter series. Haha. Bye.
