Things you like to do

I heard somewhere that you can choose what you do, but you can't choose what you like to do.

This may be obvious to some, but to me it was an entirely new idea. For a long time I'd had these love-hate relationships with things in my life such as music and dance. Many people love them, but I didn't. I thought if I worked hard at them, I would love them. But no. There are some things I simply don't like. It was kind of hard for me to accept that.

Because my whole life I'd felt like there were things I should like and things I shouldn't, based on what other people liked or didn't. There are things that are hard to let go of. It was just as hard as letting go of a façade or breaking a tradition I'd had for my whole life. It's difficult, but after that it feels like things suddenly got easier.

Juneful Things

Me: Right, it's June.
Me: Wait...it's JUNE?! How did that happen? One day it was May and the next...
Me: That's kind of how things work. I guess.
Me: BUT IT DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THAT---AGHHH!
Me: Calm down. It's just June.
Me: JUNE!

Do not disturb. Reality shock in progress.
