This week for me, my parents have been away so it has been up to me to be responsible and take care of my sister and make sure everything is in order. And I think I've been doing a good job... All the laundry is done, the dishes are done, the counters are clean, there are vegetables in the fridge and we aren't surviving on pizza or microwave dinners. I'm pretty proud of myself.... except I'm not. For me, it's like the triangle of three and you can pick two with my options being:
1.) Properly be responsible while everyone is away 2.) Be on top of my school work 3.) Friends/Health responsibilities. Any guesses which I picked? I don't know. The thing is, I've done the whole mental breakdown thing and not taken care of myself and picked 1 & 2 before and last time I did it ended in me driving off a cliff. So what the heck do I do? I don't think there is a good answer lol. This morning I packed all of the food for my sister to take to my grandfathers, so when I went to eat something... there was no food. (That wasn't packed anyway. ) All that was in the cupboard was pancakes. So I just made pancakes, with lemon juice and sugar because if one is going to have pancakes, you gotta do it right. But then I had to run off again, so I scrapped the sugar and lemon off and ran out the door. When I pulled my pancakes out later, they just weren't good. My lemon pancakes were just... cold plain pancakes. And it wasn't pleasant. It kinda got me thinking, maybe life isn't a pick two. Even though it may seem like you can only pick two things in your triangle to fulfill, for one's life to be fulfilled, one needs to find a way to pick all three. Because if you don't, you end up with plain, cold, slightly soggy, tart lemon pancakes. And that isn't what anyone wants. I don't know how to do everything, I think I'm always going to be an avid procrastinator. But one thing I do know is that I'm not going to sacrifice having awesome pancakes just to get to class, I'd rather procrastinate going and have my lemon pancakes. So all in all, don't try to learn from me.
