"Que Sera, Sera, Whatever will be, will be. The future's not ours to see...Que Sera, Sera, What will be, will be." - From the song "Que Sera Sera" by Doris Day
Many lament that 'waiting' is the most common activity a human being does; one needs to wait to eat, wait to shit, wait to sleep, wait to pee and wait to what-have-you. However, I beg to differ. I think 'thinking' is the most common activity we do. We even need to think before we act on anything, heck, we even need to think whether we want to wait to do whatever. For e.g.; In the morning, we think if we should snooze the alarm for another 10 minutes, then we think whether we will be late doing that. Thereafter we wait to see if our hands will automatically hit the snooze button. So I think (pardon the overuse of the word) that 'thinking' the the most engaged activity of all time.
I, for one, love to think, and thinking involves the use of my brain (@ this point I might have to add that although I'm awed by the brain and its capabilities, I am not so thrilled about learning the scientific aspect of it--> as I am forced to now, doing Neurobiology in school *cue -_-"' face*).
I love to think about things, & then more often than not, create imagery out of somewhat unnecessary scenarios/happenings. However, I don't feel that I'm isolated in this cos I know for sure that there are people like me who read into things more than a typical human being; and also some nuts out there who think so much, they drive themselves, well, nuts...
Anyway, back to thinking right. Today I forgot to charge my faithful companion, Mr Ipod, so I had to pick up a book to read on the way to school. So as I was reading that book which was teaching me how to be a more approachable human being, I had an eureka moment. I realise that if I want to become a more approachable individual, I will have to stop thinking so much and just let some things go. It's all kinda poignant how a space of a decade can change me so much. I remembered the times when I was carefree, I thought less about stuff, I dared to get down and dirty, and I don't care a damn about looking ugly---> especially whilst playing all those orientation-like games like being thrown water/flour bombs or rolling in a pool of muddy water during forfeit etc.. As I grew more mature, I became more guarded in my actions and feelings. I was much more self-aware in the looks dept, so much so that I couldn't be cajoled into posing silly for a photo just last thursday in which all my friends wanted to look silly. Very often, I think about how my future life will be and then I get stressed out thinking about the "what ifs"...(What if I don't earn enough next time, what if I don't do that...) & I am reading more and more into people's actions and words (not always in a negative light but fairly often) so much so that I had more or less morphed into a pessimistic soul. Funny thing is that I know I am capable of being optimistic, and that I am capable of becoming less guarded and I know for sure that I deserve to have a life as fantastic as I want it to be. I've come to an understanding that I have not had serious fun in ages and I am determined not to let this negative aura surround me. I will relax and take it easy, I will radiate positiveness and I shall let my life roll ahead of me naturally. I will sing "Que sera sera" to myself repeatedly every night from now on; complete with the fake- mike hand action (I kid...lol)
What I said today does not make sense right? It's ok, cos it doesn't makes much sense to me too.
This song was playing in my head the whole day, couldn't resist posting it.

FLY AWAY FROM HERE
by Aerosmith
Gotta find a way
Yeah, I can't wait another day
And nothin' gonna change
If we stay around here
Gotta do what it takes
Cause it's all in our hands
We all make mistakes, yeah
But it's never to late to start again
Take another breath
And say another prayer
Then fly away from here
Anywhere
Yeah, I don't care
We'll just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
Won't let time pass us by
We'll just fly
If this life
Isn't hard enough
It ain't no nevermind
You got me by your side
And anytime you want
Yeah, we can catch a train and find a better place
Yeah, cause we won't have nothin' or no one keep gettin' us down
Maybe you and I
Could pack our bags and hit the sky
Then fly away from here
Anywhere
Yeah, I don't care
We'll just fly away from here
Our hopes and dreams are out there somewhere
Won't let time pass us by
We'll just fly
Didn't you see your blue sky now
You could have a better ride now
Open your eyes
Cause no one here can better or stop us
They can try but we won't let them
No way
Maybe you and I
Could pack our bags and say goodbye
Then fly away from here
Anywhere
Honey, I don't care
We'll just fly away from here
Our hope and dreams are out there somewhere
Fly away from here
Yeah, anywhere
Honey, I don't, I don't, I don't care
We'll just fly away
