Dec. 25th, 2008 07:57 pmHmm, I guess I really have trouble blogging. (In regards to talking about myself, it's more reluctance than laziness.) However, I've been reading the translated blogs of Japanese actors lately. Despite being very busy people, they always manage to write often and with honesty. It really impressed me. I want to be someone who has things to say, or something along those lines - at least.
This season really makes me think. For me, it's not so much 'the holiday season' as it is a 'certain time of year.' I have to confess that I'm not very fond of it (for a personal reason), though I sincerely wish joy to everyone who treasures these few weeks. As always, I'm a people observer. Or maybe it should be 'society' observer? Holidays seem to bring out the extremes - happiness and sadness. The public perception of holidays is, of course, polarized towards happiness. But I've found that for people individually it seems to be the time they reflect upon troubles. Maybe focusing too much on how happy something should be only creates unrealistic expectations. I wonder. It'd be easy to say 'yes,' but that's kind of pessimistic, isn't it?
Recently I haven't been pleased with my own actions. My resolution for the New Year is to make better decisions as a person, along with caring more about other people's feelings. I've definitely been fairly blamed for a few things and, if I'm being punished now, it's the consequence of my decisions - so I'm gonna take it without complaint. New personal strength! I hope I'll be able to keep it up.
I really liked the astronomy course I took, even though it was hard for me. It reminded me of the vastness of everything. I don't mean just the universe. There's even a 'vastness' in our circles of relationships. Family, friends, politicals, countries. The Earth may be small, but it's big to us. The consequences of small American decisions create big ripples that affect other countries. And we ourselves might seem small, but we're certainly big to the people we're important to. Everything is relative, and we can't be selfish (thinking just about ourselves) and forget that.
First semester was good. I'm feeling pretty good.
Happy holidays, everybody.
