On the way to Caberra

Me and the Oprah house. Sydney 2009.

After one week in Sydney we drove to Canberra. On the way there Quinn got sick in his stomach and threw up in the car so Jolyon had to pull the car off the road and clean up everything. I just sat in the car listening to my music and didn’t help them, because before we left Sydney, I was in a bad moon and got annoyed with everyone that kept changing the plans, I was running out of patience so I just sat in the car quietly and didn’t talk much, trying to get back my patience while moving on with this trip.

After listening to one hundred and twenty-five songs on my Ipod I fell asleep.

Jolyon woke me up because we had arrived in Canberra and he thought I might want to see what it looked like. When I saw Canberra all I could say was “ ho… it’s ugly, quiet and seems like a boring city” and they laughed.

I started making more jokes in the car after I woke up because I felt much better after being quiet and having some time alone. I have been trying to think what is the best way to handle being in a bad mood. I’ve always thought that if I am angry or in a bad mood being quiet is best way to be. I find that whatever I say when I’m angry is wrong. People often say the truth when they are angry and it is fine to speak the truth, but often it’s said inappropriately, and often hurts other people’s feeling.

So a small problem becomes a larger problem. Sometimes the way to solve the problem is to drop it and move on to different topic. Another way is to end it with a word or a sentence. As long as one keeps thinking about positive ways of solving the problem everything will be ok, because whatever happens it is not the end of the world.

I have many of problems in life, and I can see that problems are a part of life and happen to everyone. If one lives with friends there will be problems with the friends. If one works there will be problems with works. If one lives alone there will still be problem with things around. It is just the way life is, it can never be perfect for one can’t be perfect for others. As long as one learns know how to manage one’s problems it will be fine in the end.

The best thing I can do when I have a problem is to be aware of it and keep an eye on it, try not to allow it go into my heart or my head, because I can always close my eye to things I don’t want to see, but I can’t close my heart to thing I don’t want to feel.
