One million thoughts and I still feel like I have nothing to say

I’m glad this summer is over. It has been the worst summer in years. I haven’t worked much, and what little work I got was low-paying. But I’ve managed as I always do. Throughout the summer, I have at times felt life-blocked and confined, for various reasons. Although I haven’t been confronted with major problems, there have been enough snags to cause serious frustration and anger. I’m not going to go into details about events and occurrences. The result, however, is that what I have experienced during this summer has provoked a palpable spurt in personal growth.

I have undergone a fundamental change in attitude to life in general, and now have a much more positive outlook – with regards to my own mind, talents and skills and thus my ability to make an impact on the world around me. My self-confidence has grown tougher, and my self-esteem has risen high. I have made peace with some of my less desirable personality traits, and also gotten closure to (internal) conflicts that have hounded me for most of my adult life. I am making some real changes to my life, ditching hobbies, behaviors, things and persons which I feel detract from my life experience, and focusing on those which are sources of energy to me. It has worked like a charm, thus far.

Doubt

“I didn’t want this – I did it anyway” – Mesh: How long

And now I wonder, was it a wise decision or a big mistake?

I do not generally believe in finality, but I'm starting to wonder if I have let the best thing that has ever been in my life,
slip through my fingers.

Sweet dreams, fat man

And so the fat man is finally knocked into a coma.

My bachelor thesis is at long last sent in, and will most probably never bother me again. I am beyond relieved. Perhaps my life can re-start now? Or at least get going again? I can’t help feeling like I’ve been stuck in a swamp for the last few months. Bugger me, talk about wasting life.

Oh well, now it’s finally over, completely over. Done and done. I am still waiting for it to get registered though, but it’s officially out of my hands.

It’s time to celebrate.
