MaMo's Truths: Explore all your options
Be careful when having to deal with both excitement and thought. Some cases require excitement to win. Other cases require thought to win. This situation called for the latter:
Task #9 (go to a Paramore concert) will be checked off on May 10th!!! I freaked out when I heard they were coming. In my excitement and rush to get tickets, I did not explore my purchasing options and so I ended up paying 15 dollars more than I needed to. Even worse, I paid for two other people's tickets., and since I cannot bring myself to have them pay for my mistake (literally), I'll be paying $66 of my own money for a concert that should have costed $27.
Tehe.
Lesson well learned.
Another general example of making sure thought is not overpowered by excitement is this:
I love learning, life, and it's experiences. And so I tried to cram all these wonderful experiences in this itty-bitty senior year. Yeeeeeaaaa.... Shoulda thought about that. You see wonderful experiences require energy and attention. If not, it may not turn out so wonderful. They also come with responsibilities. You may think it's only about you, but I promise, in EVERYTHING there is a hidden responsibility somewhere. I now realize I have not given the proper amount of energy or attention to anything. Instead I sprinkled a little here, a little there...I don't like that! I also feel kind of trapped because once you dive into it, your responsibilities leap out and joyfully confront you.
What do you do?
Stick it out, and pocket it as a lesson learned and never to be repeated? ...or do you abandon ship?
