LIPUNAN

Lately, I’ve realized that the personal things I’ve been ranting about may not be my fault, but I should have had taken control over the situations that lead to my "issues." Emotionally, I am still immature. I blamed the factors I thought were hindering my personal growth — but now I’ve realized I just didn’t exerted the effort to grow. I thought I was still unprepared to take the challenges that confronted me — and maybe I am, but I didn’t do anything to respond to it. Perhaps I’ve become too accustomed to the niche I’ve created for myself.

A friend told me that what I perceive as stagnancy may actually be an opportunity. But I just continued to complain.

I view the last semester in college as a regression, but the next won’t be one. It’s high time I start addressing my own demons. I thought the problem was the disadvantages my situation brought. I thought I was being held back. But it was just me, standing still in this continuously changing world.
