I love the power of convenience. After class, I took a two hour nap. I was famished since I haven't eaten all day. To give a picture, I was passed out on the foyer carpet near the main door of our house. The moment I opened my eyes, ten seconds later, my mom comes in with like burgers. On the hierarchy of super powers I would want to get... well, one is of course, the power of probability, and the second one would definitely be convenience. If you think about it, it's kind of the same thing. Except you can control probability, but with convenience, you're just kind of lucky at all times. But now that I think about it, It's like... when you say that phrase like "Wouldn't it be so convenient if [this] happened.", and it happens so... that's like being able to control the surrounding except sometimes, your surroundings conveniently makes everything convenient for you already without having to ask for it. But having to ask for it would activate it too. So that's like... double the convenience! Don't get me wrong, probability will always be better because with that, you can bring downfall on humanity - ragnarok but you're the one starting every major catastrophe. "The probability of you dying? 100%." as an example. Did you know that there's a 1 in 300,000 chances of an asteroid strike. Next time you're living, think about how you'll never know when suddenly we're all disintegrated into nothingness.
I can't stop sleeping. I've slept for over 10 times this day. Like long ones...
I came across this video talking about a Ted Talk by Emilie Wapnick. This Ted Talk was about people who were always the Jack-of-All-Trades. She made this little phenomenon coprehensible. She called those individuals "multipotentialites" or "multipods" - someone who doesn't want to be just one thing. It's a struggle because I'm always juggling so many different kinds of fire. My anxiety eats up everything and it gets hard to focus on one thing. Some people have told me I probably just have ADHD. I think I do have focus. Just not enough time and my hyperfixations have limits. Maybe I do though, there's no way of telling. Whenever I need to introduce myself (especially those ones with the tell me three things about yourself), I used to always give out the most vague things. A script I prepared for those instances was "I like learning new things, I like cats, and dogs.". A lot of people love making one thing their whole personality. I never understood that. I would never list out the things I like because I have way too many things I like. Ria, as I was making this website, told me to do an about me. I told her that I am physically not capable of doing that. I have way too many talents and hobbies; I am not a shallow person. Back to Emilie Wapnick, she actually wrote a book about people like me. It's called "How to Be Everything: A Guide for Those Who (Still) Don't Know What They Want to Be When They Grow Up". The title makes so much sense because I always say that I don't have a dream career. In the book, there was a page with a subsection called "Not being 'The Best' Isn't the Same as Being Mediocre". Some love to take out the negative connotation of the Jack of All Trades phrase by adding ",master of none". But they always choose to leave out the second line, "but oftentimes better than master of one". Being a multipod might have its challenges, but I hate how everything we learn and practice is disregarded because other people think that it isn't possible to be good at many things. To justify their own one goal path, they invalidate ours. However way you may want to live your life, as long as you're doing something, it's good. I'm hoping to soon get the physical copy of this book.
Sirko and Ria are like the best people ever!! For context, I'm a bit of a germaphobe. Today, Sirko held every bathroom door for me. Ria, when we bought our food in the cafeteria, gave me her wrapped (sanitized) spoon and fork! I would never give anyone such clean plastic utensils! The nicest people ever.
Do I ever win when I play chess by myself? I win and lose so therefore I lose.
