Life in Orange-Tinted Glasses

this is why i am a walking tortoise on the fast lane

I really do hope I could be more coherent now than my last post. Haha.

So, I’m just taking a quick break from reading about the company where I’d be having an interview to tomorrow. I’ve read it in the newspapers that it’s important that you know a thing or two about the company you are applying in so to at least give you an idea if you’re fit… if you’re compatible (haha, lovesick around here. :D ).

Sometimes it makes me wonder if how I’m dealing with the job-hunting thing is right. Most of my batchmates have expressed their anxieties about getting a job, and me, honestly, doesn’t feel an anxiety but for the thought of figuring out where I’m really called for. Seriously. I’m not really in a hurry to get a job because I want to take a real good hiatus from the thought of “working” (equals “schooling” which ended weeks ago) and recharge. I am well aware the the economy is in recession and I am well aware of the stiff competition among fresh graduates and the still unemployed ones. But this is my belief, and this is how I want to deal: I want to take a break and prevent myself from feeling pressured (it’s a good thing that my parents understand and they don’t pressure me, I thank God for them) because if I hurry, I might miss something important, something that I should carry once I begin my journey to the jungle. When I go out there, everything is uncertain, so I want to make sure that there will be  something that isn’t: and that is my faith in myself. And, to have more faith, is to be more open about and to the self. You can’t have more faith in something if you are not able to know more about that something.

Besides, what I’m always praying for to God these days is for me to have clarity. And you can’t have clarity if you’re always agitated, right?

Maybe you’re wondering, what if I get left behind because I’m taking things not-too-fast. Well. This is my choice. And I stand by however I want to sail my life’s coast. I believe that I’d get somewhere. Either I find it, or I create it.

Welcome to my trip.

 

OMG I feel like I sound preachy. And like I’m sounding like a hermit. This is scary. Haha. :D
