I've realised that since I got into uni 3 years ago, I've morphed into an extreme stress freak, worry wart, whiny !@!#@...and the list goes on. To be fair, with hardly any sleep, permanent coffee breath and a lifestyle that probably shortened our lifespan by a handful of years (Being at uni for way more than 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, Vending machine diets and crap food before hand ins, no time for exercise, no exposure to sunshine for long periods, squinting at a drawing/the computer screen for hours and hours without a break, no NORMAL communication with people, constant pressure to poop out drawings at high speed, having a breakdown every once in a while, blablayadayada) who wouldn't end up with psychological problems?
Not that I'm at a worrying stage where I have to be institutionalised...
but I have to say 3 years of being so used to this life has kind of made me into a stress addict, like it's natural to just make a big deal and fret about stupid, petty stuff. Very, very unhealthy and disgusting habit that I have picked up. Third year, especially, has made me into an even worse mental wreck and everything just jumped out to me as something negative. At one point even smiling became an effort. Like I had become the bloody Grinch of architecture.
Anyway, it's all in the past now and I am slowly starting to enjoy life as it should be enjoyed once again.
Slowly getting myself to unravel and get back some happiness and sunshine into my life.
So here is my 30 day happiness project to celebrate little things in life (which i hope i won't be too lazy to abandon, like i always do!)
and hopefully by the end of this I will be zen enough to smile even when a pigeon poops on my head.
Day #1
Lovely sunshine in the morning.
Cheese and tomato omelette at Mockturtle. (Ate 2/3 of that huge omelette wohoo!)
Lots of talk and laughter with the housemate.
Was 10 minutes late for work but lucky me as it turns out I had a day off! (there were some technical problems at work).
Chill time at home.
That feeling when you bite into a sweet, juicy, yummy peach.
