Top 5: Excuses We Tell Ourselves

Posted on by Just Wandering

I’m too old

This is probably the most annoying one for me. But what’s even more annoying is that when people say that they can’t do but that I can. Too be honest, if we kept telling ourselves that we are too old for anything…we really are just wasting time. And when we waste time, eventually we do get to old. A 40-year-old single man told me he was too old to go back to school. When I went to college, I had a friend in her early 40’s and who had 5 kinds. Now, I don’t know what happened to her but I admire that despite her circumstances she went for it.

So guys, don’t say you are too old for anything. Age is just a number and if age doesn’t matter…”What are you waiting for? You’re wasting time

I’m too busy

I’m just going to say this. Stop watching your favorite TV shows. I know you always make time for that.

I don’t have enough money

I completely understand that sometimes you may not have the funds to do whatever you want.

But I am talking about you guys who spend your money on alcohol, expensive gym memberships, designer purses and drive luxury cars. If you have these things, you have money but you be spending it on the wrong things.

I’m bad at this…thus, I can’t do this

I must admit that I am guilty of this. Sometimes if I feel defeated I find ways to justify why I can’t do this or do that.

For example, in high school I hated math and science. Like, I serious despised that shit. I remember when I took chemistry my second year in high school I promised myself that I would never take another chemistry class again. And you know what?!???! I broke that promise 😀

I went to go study Microbiology in which I had to take a shit ton of chemistry courses (ironically more than the actually microbiology courses). I took 3+ years worth of chemistry. Was it easy? Hell no! But I did and was even in the honors program at my school

I can’t do this because so-and-so needs me

You should ask yourself this. Are you really that important? Or do you think are that important?

Things I Don’t Like About Myself

Posted on by Just Wandering

    1. I am introverted

This not necessarily a bad thing. I remember watching a TED talk about how introverted people make great leaders. But then I also saw another bullshit TED talk about “How To Spot A Leader In Their Handwriting” (watch it and you will roll your eyes too). Basically, I don’t know how credible those TED talks are but I always hear about them and how influential/inspirational they are. For the most part they are except for that handwriting/leadership talk….just watch it. I made it clickable for you so you can see what I’m talking about.

Anyways, I don’t like being introverted. It makes me look like a loner, which I am perfectly ok with, if only it didn’t make me appear anti-social. People think something is wrong with me, maybe there is, but to be honest I don’t like being watched or questioned. I just need my space. Let me think about my own nonsense like….

 “Why are strawberries still expensive even when its strawberry season?”

 “Why is everyone at working getting electric cars where there are only two charging stations in the parking lot?”

“What did I have for breakfast? Did I even have breakfast? Did I skip it? Wait, does it matter? Breakfast is just the first meal of the day. It doesn’t necessarily have to be in the morning, Right?”

See what I mean? Anyways,  I don’t think my thoughts would be of interest to anyone. Not normal right? What’s it to me if everyone is driving electric cars? It’s not like its affecting me. But still…I still think these things.

    1. I can be very impulsive

This is good and/or bad in my honest opinion.  Sometimes I commit to something and don’t think things out.

For example, I will like overbook things because I got too excited not realizing that I am not able to rearrange my schedule.

Another example, I saw a really cheap flight to go to Paris. I didn’t even want to go to Paris but because the cost of the flight was dirt floor cheap I just booked it without a second thought. In the end it was a great trip, but still….

    1. My mood changes quickly

I can go from “0 to 100, baby real quick” – Drake from Degrassi (yeah, I remember you from Degrassi).

I am like a high energy photon. I can have A LOT of energy at one-point in time and then 1 hour later its gone. I don’t care for it anymore. I’m not excited anymore.

    1. I can sometimes be over dramatic

I exaggerate A LOT! I even get annoyed with myself.

Scenario #1:  I find an empty tub of ice cream with just a spoonful left.

Me: “Like seriously? Really!?!?!? you couldn’t throw it away?  People these days…I don’t understand…I give up…”

Scenario #2: I’m being super nice on the road and I’m letting someone from the next lane merge into mine. They don’t say thank you.

Me: “Really?!?!?!? You are just going to cut me off and act like I didn’t give way?!?!? Who do you think you are?!?!?! Kim Kardishian?!?! HELL NO! That’s it! I’m never going to be nice ever again. You are nice once, and people will just walk all over you. IT AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN….”

Yeah…this is me.

    1. I am very sensitive

I act really tough sometimes but my feelings are easily hurt. Not only do I hold grudges but I do take things personally even if its a joke.  But sometimes I can’t tell if its a joke or if its for real and that’s another thing.
