Things that frustrate us all

We're the neglected generation. We have to figure out stuff on our own because no one else seemed to care.

No idea where I would be today if I had pursued different stuff. I started off in Philosophy and completed almost all of the major courses before moving onto a degree that would provide me with better job opportunities. However, no matter what you study or how good you do at it, you can't beat out the privileged that get ahead without correspondingly good performance.

I've started reading the philosopher Bun, and my current take away is to stop focusing on achievement and instead focus on my peace of mind.

I know I've come around that that way of thinking for the most part, just when I wrote that post I was unpacking a kit for a a remote control car with mechannum wheels and thinking to myself "geez if this stuff was around when I was a kid how much more interested in this stuff I would have been" to myself.

They were. I built a Frog and RC10 as a kid. It was good fun. We didn't have screens back then.

I meant in the 70s, the Frog wasn't around back then, and neither were there interesting things to build that were affordable for a kid in the 70s
 
My friend Hannah, whom I mentioned in the random thoughts thread. She really thinks that I'll go to Malta back and forth to visit her, does she not realise how expensive flight tickets are? It's not a train ride to Brussels, it's a two hour trip! But thank God I can sleep at her place! /s. I hope she stays there and never comes back, she hurt me too much. I'll be glad she's out of my life soon

I wonder if all Hannahs are like that.

There was a time when I kept bumping into girls with variations of the name Kate. They all seemed really nice too but this happened times in around a 12 month period.

What frustrated me about all this was I never tried to ask any of them out, and I always wondered if maybe I should have..

how many were Kat?

None why? 1 of them was a Kate another was a Katelynn, a Kathryn, and the remaining 2 were both Katherine but huge difference in ages between all of them.


EDIT:

I just did something I didn't realise and now feel a bit depressed. sat a mirror in front of me and looked down. When I tilted my head down the skin under my chin started to go all loose and looked funny then I touched it and it felt all loose and all but the moment I lifted my head back to normal position it got tight again, but now I feel depressed like, is that what aging is I want plastic surgery haha......

I don't like being behind a large vehicle on the freeway when it's slow because I can't see what's going on up ahead, because sometimes there is no traffic at all. Like today, the vehicle in front of the large vehicle in front of me was going like 40 with nothing in front of it!

Playing devils advocate, and appreciate i don't know the circumstances but she must have reasons for choosing Malta as the place to set up her business. She may also feel hurt if she feels you aren't supporting her in her venture. It sounds like a very brave move.

It sounds like she still wants and values your friendship by suggesting you visit. And while it sounds unrealistic for that to be regular, it sounds like maybe a great opportunity to see a friend and have a nice summer break now and then.

You have modern technology like never before to keep in touch, and I know its not the same but friends are so valuable in this world, its clear you are hurting but when our emotions are in turmoil its not the best frame of mind to make long term decisions. Your friendship could still be strong, even at a distance.

Once again I know i don't know the circumstances and apologize if I'm speaking out of turn.
 
One of my pet peeves. A car was in the left turn lane at a red light but wanted to be one lane over and had the right turn signal on, which wasn't going to happen because that lane had been filling up. So when the left turn lane turned green, of course there was no movement. If there had been vehicles behind this car, they would've missed the light.
