Sigh I want to be done with school fast. I feel like I'm missing out on a lot, like life is on a standstill. Somehow the closer I get to graduation, the more I'm feeling the massive opportunity cost.
I think this happens because I sometimes subconsciously peg myself to my peers, and think about where I could be today. Admittedly, its a very unhealthy exercise. There'll be no end to it if I'm going to compare -- I'll just never be happy.
I know that happiness is achievable when you learn to be content with what you have. It may sound trite but its pretty spot on. You just have to be your own person and find peace in the little things that make you happy. Some days, thats easy. Some days, its not.
Think now would be a good time to play with that scruffy mongrel dog that I've always wanted since I was a kid. I think there's nothing like a lick from a dog friend to bring you back into the moment. A retirement dream perhaps...
