Just caught the last half of 'Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy', it's a most enjoyable film. Got me thinkin'. The black guy in it (didn't catch his name) is fantastic; so stoic. I love stoic people. I've always tried to be more like that. He says "life goes on, I should just go on with it" which is a really great motto. Also said in the film is "I'd rather be happy than right," which is also a good ideal, but I think I'm the other way around, for better or for worse.
I really do want to be more stoic (yes, I've said the word three times now, I don't have a thesaurus), but at times I can't help but panic (e.g. previous blog post). I know that showing emotion isn't necessarily a weakness... But in some ways lack of control over them is. I try really hard to be more stoic (four) and I s'pose 'less moaning' falls into that category. I'm going to make a real effort to keep calm and not panic as of now. Life goes on, so I'll just go on with it.
I imagine tomorrow I'll write a post that goes along the lines of "AHH, MATHS EXAM TOMORROW, FORGET NOT PANICING, I'M FUCKED! WEEP WEEP WEEP!"
Oh well. I can but try.
On occasion I think to myself "why should I constantly focus on self-improvement? Can I not just be satisfied with who I am?"
I guess I should just be happy with who I am... But I'm not. And it'd be technically impossible to want to be more like a person who doesn't want to change, who just wants to be themself...
Peace out, y'all.
