seems like that is the best answer for staying sane on most, if not all, cases.

laur,

you are going to give yourself an ulcer. a real one. maybe you feel/think that you don’t know shit when in fact you DO know shit because of the pressure? you can do this. subconscious constipation perhaps?

you take care.

your little rallying friend. oh, may bibigay pala ako sa iyo. i always forget. hahaha. you’ll see.

methinks you’re sooo normal, Lauren!
can you stand being mediocre???
some people don’t mind doing things in a half-assed way, but some (I suspect you’re in this group) have to do things well in the tasks they care about.
hope to read more sanity and insanities from you.
love your blog!

You srsry study and pressure yourself waaaay to much. I wont say: DUDE, LEARN TO RELAX, because you know how to kick back and chill (lol, what words), but dont beat yourself up and get into a tizzy over everything. So yeah, when the going gets tough, take a deep breath and count back from ten (and maybe you’ll be all right. Sorry, couldnt help but quote a Liz Phair song).

Also: SOMETHING DRINKS ON SATURDAY KK!

Hi, Lauren:

I think what you mean by “I will not care” IS “Enjoy the journey” instead of being fixated on the destination itself. There will be detours — and sometimes these detours are exactly what you need at that point in your life.

Perfectionism is a common condition (sometimes, we develop into OC behavior, aka obsessive-compulsive behavior). My meditation guide worked hard on getting me to “relax in my perfectionism.” I’m passing this on to you, too.

If friends think that you focus too much on your shortcomings instead of what needs to get done, you might want to evaluate if your thoughts and attitude is coming from “scarcity” or “lack” instead of “abundance.” What I mean is that we all are inherently abundant. It’s just a matter of recognizing and acknowledging this fact more often.

I hope this helps. YOU are perfect just the way you are.
