De-clutter
I have been cleaning my room “intensely” these past few days and while cleaning, I had some random thoughts/realizations that I want to immortalize here.
1. The quality of things are degrading. As I went through all the accumulated papers in my room, I have noticed that those from my college years were thinner as compared to those from my high school years. Might as well include the crayons etc. The prices are getting higher but the quality is getting cheaper. I guess this is also one of life’s ways of telling us that not everything will be as good as it used to be.
2. As I age, I become less sentimental. I used to almost always write about my day in details. And I really mean IN DETAILS, with matching illustrations and/or receipts about that day. Now, I seldom write about my day. I haven’t even written about my “adventures” during this summer!
3. I was a better and more responsible student back then. I really read the handouts and I always take down notes. I even saw summaries of chapters of books in some of my notes! I have never done that in my med school life!
4. With a little background in analysis of handwriting, I guess it’s true that the personality of a person can be seen based on his/her handwriting. My handwriting was a bit different from what it is now.
5. The more you know, the more complicated life gets.
6. My math and composition skills are getting rusty.
7. My idealism was nurtured in high school but College of Science took it away.
8. I have studied A LOT throughout my life. I have read tons of books and handouts and spent 16 years of my life studying all for what? I am lost right now and I don’t know where I’m heading.
9. I really think that MOST of the things they teach us in school are rubbish.
10. People come and go. I had lots of letters/notes from grade school and high school friends but I don’t know know where these people are now or what happened in their lives. Amidst all the technology in connecting people, some just move on with their own lives and never come back. But who knows? One day I might bump with these people. Well, I’m just happy that some people chose to stay with me through thick and thin. :)
