You know how those people advise you to keep yourself busy to keep unpleasant memories at a distance?
I used to scoff at it, thinking it was just another excuse made by escapists to justify their cowardice, for they had no guts to face their problems and take them on. Looking at the previous sentence, I ought to agree with somebody there IS arrogance in my speech. But why do you care? It's me, me, and me. Not you. Besides, those who know me know, that I wouldn't be nice to people I don't like. So if you find me arrogant, perhaps you should look at yourself first, before picking on me.
RAWR. To be thinking of that worthless person really spoils my mood and my day. PUH.
On to the subject of the day -
escapism.
From the moment I bid my housemate goodbye, silence was my only companion til now. Read from somewhere, that the reason unpleasant memories get to us first is because these unpleasant memories are constantly rehashed, either by similar happenings around us or we are constantly reminded through conversations. So these unpleasant thoughts are like ghosts of the past, that appear and haunt our minds especially when we are alone, and when our minds wander aimlessly.
Something that fell short of my expectation got the better of me this morning, so my day did not start off good. Yet there was so much to be done, so much accounts to be cleared, too many things happening simultaneously. My mind was so preoccupied to be dwelling into unpleasant thoughts.
And after I finally finished everything at hand, it was time for dinner preparation. Well, I thought, it is my turn to shoulder this responsibility for once, and thus began my zooming in and out of the kitchen. The whole process - washing the vege, cooking the dishes, and cleaning up - took almost an hour and dinner was ready. Throughout that one hour there was nothing other than cooking in my mind.
So I've got to agree, that by forcing your mind into thinking about getting something done, you spend your time more productively than to let it wander loose and bring you back memories you'll die to forget.
I will prevail, and I will survive, no matter what the world brings me.
Like what Timon said, "If the world turn their backs on you, YOU turn your back on them!"
That's why I always love Disney. They never fail to impress, entertain, and enlighten me.
