When Being You Is Not That Great

Everywhere I turn, I'm surrounded by people who tell me I've got to change, somehow. Can't I enter the working world the way I am, rather than gradually mold myself into just another robot, just another product to be spun off into oblivion?

Supposedly to become more employable, supposedly to become more noticed, supposed to become a better person. Question is, am I not better being who I am now that who I'm forcing myself to be?

I feel I've lost a big part of myself now that I devote myself so much to what everybody else does. It's this frustration inside me that feels I'm not doing anything different, that in this world, I'm just another ant scurrying around not really missed even without. Oh but don't we all feel that way. Ah, guess I just need some sleep. Screw revising. I've read enough.

You still have one more year before going into the working world. Very fast. I still have 2 but I can't feel it right now. Starting on your thesis already?Anyway, I thought you were planning to take your masters? Or is it just my imagination?

~shiawase~ - Am planning to, but don't think I've told you before though... so it must be your imagination xD
