Although I may be hot-tempered,aggressive and impulsive at times, believe it or not, I am actually quite forgiving. I can forgive almost anything. I know that this is good as I don't bear grudges, but sometimes it ruins my plans to be mad at someone. For example, if a person has done something/constantly do something to me that I do not like and I tell myself that I'm gonna be mad at this person to send him/her a signal that he/she is wrong, but I always fail at it. It's like, whenever that person starts to be nice to me again or when he/she stops or after a period of time, I sort of lose all my anger I have for that person and feel neutral towards him/her again, or I may even start to treat the person nicely ( WHUTT .__. ..... ). And sometimes, I may start thinking things like, maybe I was in the wrong, maybe I did something to the person first... I will still remember what the person did because you can forgive, but you can't forget. But I will just let the past be past, let bygones be bygones. I guess I'm the type of person who easily let go of things because I'd rather look positively into the future and the present rather than just keep thinking about the past. I will still remember the past but it doesn't really affects me that much. Psychologically my mind just naturally escapes out of the confinements of the past and just travel to the future. I have and was born with this " forgiving nature " of mine.
So recently everyone's been talking about a new trendy song called " The fox " by Ylvis. In case you haven't heard of the song or even heard it, here's the MV of the song.
I was at the canteen the other day with my friends and one of my friends was watching this music video. The first thing that came to our mind was, " What has become of our generation? How can a song as stupid as this be trending all over the world? This generation is Fu**** " . All we heard were random imitations of the sound of a fox. We were laughing so hard until we teared. I went home and decided to go to Youtube to listen to it again, for some strange reasons. After listening to it for a couple of times, I realised that although it may sound a little random and stupid, it's actually pretty catchy and hilarious. It may not have a specific meaning, but that's how our generation is right? Just look at Gangnam Style. "Oppa Gangnam style op op op op...." What does that mean anyway????? ._.
I decided to do a research on this song and found that the Ylvis group created this song to promote their upcoming talkshow called " Tonight with Ylvis " on TVNorge. Basically, what they did was sit down and talk about random things while taking down notes on some ideas they came up with. Apparently, they were talking about the sound a fox makes and they decided to produce a song out of it. It was suppose to just entertain their Norwegian audiences but to their surprise, it gained international success and popularity, and I guess that's the reason why our generation is fun. You don't know what to expect. You don't know what people are going to like or listen to. You won't know the next big thing that will be trending on the net. I guess this generation's all about trial and error. So just keep calm, and enjoy the music :)
I'm a teenager. 15 now. Turning 16 this December. Being a teenager, I find that being a little childish at our age is perfectly alright and it's actually pretty normal, If you know your limits and how to balance it of course...
Teenagers, are known as Young Adults. And the reason why we are called young adults is because we are in the process of growing from a kid to an adult. Another reason is because we are both young and mature in different ways. If you're a teenager, I'm sure you and your friends have received complains from teachers and parents for being childish sometimes, we all have. I can understand adults expecting us to start growing up at this age but what they don't know is that there are still some childishness in us. Some teenagers have a high degree of childishness( That includes me... I think ^^ ) , while some have a low degree of childishness and among my group of friends, there are some who are still childish, playing pranks and all that, while some are really matured. I'm not judging any of them because I know that however childish or matured they are, they are actually both matured and young in different ways and all of them will eventually be fully matured as the years go by. If you're wondering what my childishness degree is, well, I think I'm about, 50-60% childish:)
So the thing that I particularly like about my formal class in school is that they know how to balance their childishness. When the teachers are not around, they will play around, playing pranks at each other, but when it's time for lesson, or when there are things to be done, they are actually serious about them. Generally they're really fun. Not to mention, we are now approaching adulthood, and if we do not act childish right now, we would never have a chance to do it anymore :( Being an adult, people will judge you if you're not acting like one. So be childish when it is still socially acceptable :D So those are my views on being childish. If you are a teenager and you are reading this, I hope that you can relate to the things I mentioned... somehow ^.^
We all have taken things for granted, it's human nature. Before we have it, we yearn for it. When we have it though, and becomes a part of us, it's not that special anymore. I remember when I first got my first phone, it was special because it was the first phone that I could finally call mine. Before that, I had to use my parents' or the public phone to call someone, which was definitely troublesome. But when I possessed the phone, It was not special anymore and I did not really treasure it that much. And whenever I saw newer phones outside, I couldn't wait to get rid of my current phone at that time so as to buy a new one. Think about what you have right now, your house, computer, family or a significant other. Treasure these things and people that you have in your life. I know, when it becomes a part of you, it's not that special anymore, but count your blessings, don't take things for granted.
Don't wait until that thing or person is lost from your life, then you realise how important it is or that person is. Sometimes, when things are lost from your life, you can retrieve it back. But sometimes, it is not really easy to take it back and maybe.... It cannot be retrieved back at all. In a nutshell, treasure what you have, count your blessings, and don't take things for granted.
