ayeeeemunaa:
Do you ever feel
Like you don’t know what’s going on anymore. Like you don’t care about anything anymore. You’ve lost motivation to do anything. Your mind is set on too many things that you are confused about your feelings, and you can’t explain how you feel either. The feeling of emptiness, and feeling that barely anyone is there for you. Feeling that no one understands you anymore. And it seems like there is nothing to look forward to anymore.

Found on tumblr and has soooooo much truth in it.

Old post. Thought I'd bring it up again.

Day 5: Self reliance.

Most of you guys may or may not have heard the term "Self reliance" before (I seriously do not know the statistics behind this.) However, if you have never heard of it before, then what it means, is just being reliable on yourself -- in the most basic of terms.

Why I want to build this aspect within myself is that, I don't want to always put things off until the last minute any more. It was fine from year 7 to 11, but once year 12 hit, it had devastating effects. I mean come on, 69.15 ATAR? That's pretty shitty. Luckily, I got into UTS in a VERY good course. Note: VERY is in caps because I couldn't think of a better word. I can only assume if I keep putting things until the last minute, the stress will just overload and... boom; A panic attack.

Luckily, these days, I've been realising a lot of things. Still not self reliant, but learning a lot in the process. There isn't much I can say about this topic, except that it is a very useful trait to have. If you have it, you'll become a greater person than before. That is all. 

Those moments

You know those moments in your life where you just realise something so BIG that it changes your mindset forever? I just had one of those. I recently(30 minutes ago) realised that life is fucking hard. I used to say "Life isn't hard, you just suck." as kind of a joke thing. Suddenly, I've realised this through my dad. He works hard day in, day out for the family to get along. We aren't the richest family out there, but sure as hell, my parents, and sisters work hard to get by.

I think one of my many goals in life is to make lots of money so that my family can enjoy the good life. You know... The life where you don't have to work past 50? The life where you sit alongside your pool, while sipping on a cold glass of beer/lemonade(whichever one tickles for fancy).

My goal is to own a company and own 1,000,000 dollars in my bank by 20 or 21. Ideally, 19 would be even better. That's all for today folks. I know it's a short post, but what can you do about it when you have nothing to write about.

A theory.

I've come to the conclusion that shorter is better. Think about it. Would you rather read something that's written as:
  • To allow a website to be accessible, easy to use, and allow the users to enjoy the content, you must allow every aspect of your website to be easily accessed, by either letting that person have the ability to click one link and lead them directly to the webpage.
OR
  • Everything one click away = Good. Hard to nagivate = Bad.
You tell me. My opinion is clearly on the 2nd one. It's much easier to read and if you don't have much time and it's just easier to read because it's not long-winded. I've become a fan of sign posting.
