“Are you stuck?“, the invigilator stopped by my table in the examination hall and asked me. Me staring into blank space in the middle of an exam must have triggered this brilliant question.
I gave him a nod. He smiled back.
And little did he know how deep that question was for me. I am stuck. Period. Feeling like a broken DVD player playing the movie of my life, the one where you have to struggle to take out then clean with one of those DVD player cleaners. You know, the one where you take an empty special CD, apply a cleaning liquid on it and make it clean your player by clicking, PLAY.
Yes, I’m like that.
Before you start making conclusions or assumptions, it’s not that I hate my life. No, infact, I love it. But I’ve been going through moments where I feel a little bit suffocated, confused, frustrated and stuck. (Stop counting how many times I’m using this word, you’re stuck with my stucks ;p).
I have this tendency to sit with friends and start talking about the future and life in general. I’ve been told by close friends that whenever I’m with them, we tend to have a reflective session. About love, life and everything. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not, but I hope it is. It means I make you think for you, right? If I don’t and I’m only making you feel worse, please stay away from me then, haha.. ;D
So, back to me being stuck. I’ve been going through moments self reflecting so frequently lately, to the point of overdoing it, that I’m starting to overanalyse everything all over again. (notice how this sentece goes around the bush like an irritating rewind?)
BIG questions like,
- What do I really want to do with my life?
- Where do I see myself 5 years from now?
- Which career path should I take?
…are starting to bug me all over again and what annoys me is that I can’t seem to have a clear answer for it.
At my age, I should have a clear answer. This is not right.
I am scared.
What do I do when I feel stuck like this?
Let me ponder.
Let me set up plan A, B, C & even D.
I’m on a mission to leave behind stuck.
Cos dear stuck, you suck.
I’m atleast writing this phase down for once.. Progress!!
=)
p/s: I think my university’s convocation and seeing some of my friends graduating got me thinking and thinking and thinking. Congratulations to all, btw!
