I think recently (ever since the my final years of secondary school, right up until now, my second year of college), I’ve been allowing my mind to wander. I’ve been indulging myself in letting things wash over me, and doing what I want. This yields a lot of great creative energy and cool ideas, and generally has helped me to be very calm in the face of adversity and potentially stressful situations.

On the downside – and of course there is a major downside to something so good – I think this has probably created an imbalance in my life. I’m finding it difficult to stay focused on things which are well within my capability, that I want to achieve but which are not my primary wants or needs. I have to learn to break away from this lax attitude, in order to achieve future ambitions. What began as a way to escape stress and narrow thoughts has become a debilitating force.
