In this fast forward moving society and in some parts of the world where living conditions a turbulent one, it takes one's great deal of determination to remain sane and not lose control of one's emotions.

Friends I meet up lately, has their own set of problems in one way or another.
Some on work, careers.
Some on Love, relationships.
As for me, I wouldn't say I am having a ball of time, but at least I have always been able to put things down when I have too much in my hands to hold.
Push me to my limits, I will just out-stretch my hands and dump them all, with 100% might and make sure everything is scattered around and walk off happily. Not giving a damn!

Couple of my friends are still going on strong, tackling with their problems, also going for other activities to fill their minds at the same time. However, in the process of solving problems, I realise they do not know what they want or, they are not decisive enough to get it over and done with, once and for all.

Few of my friends, hold up with all their might, not willing to let go any and troubles comes piling on them each time a little at a time, until they can no longer walk up tall, finally collapse. They either seek medical help or go for counselling. I agree fully, while the condition is just the beginning, it is always good to source help from outside, not any from your inner circle unless you are usually not tight-lipped about your life. Let the professionals do it.

The beginning if help is rendered, advice is given and there is someone to guide you, walk you through, the mind is still yours completely 100%. Once you lose it, even if you find it back, it will never be the same as before.

I am surrounded by friends who are either depressed or those with much angst lately. I am consoled however each time I seem able to sense my close friends' peak and appear before them at the right time. They will then be like a glass of pop soda being shaken vigorously for a long period of time, suddenly the cap gives way and I am the one receiving the gushes of bubbly explosives.

If there's anything you are not happy with your job, quit it and start somewhere new.
It is to me a blessing to have work and (anything), you don't necessary have to climb if you are someone who can't handle stress, it is certainly NOT worth it, for you to lose your mind, right!

Taking matters with a pinch of salt, is my forte.
I can take sarcasm, critics well, without feeling affected.
I believe and love myself too much, to let those who doesn't matter, affect me.
But of course, I am not always in tip-top condition.
Step on me during my "off day", I will just give it to you.
I am never one to use harsh words on anyone when I speak, although couple of my friends say my tone is harsh at times. But whoever deserves it from me one fine day, I will gladly rain words on you.
Since young, I have always been an extremist. Everything that I do, rounds down to whether I like or Not like.

I don't try my best to fit myself into this society so that I can be accepted.
I don't try too hard to impress or be that miss nice to everybody, so that I am well liked by everyone. I choose who I want to be nice to.
I don't hanker after the idea to be acknowledged or recognitions either, for with that there is a price to pay which I am not interested.
I only work hard at what I like.
What you want in life, most importantly.
Riches, Fame, Recognition.
