Human potential, though not always apparent, is there waiting to be discovered and invited forth.
-William W. Purkey

i don't like when people try to force their opinions onto you. more like, if you're doing something that you feel satisfied with and here comes along someone frowning upon how you approach things and starts preaching their version of how they thought you should have been doing things. i mean hel-looo, that's not a way to motivate someone if that's what you're trying to do.

let's take for example my moving out. yes i know i said one of the things i wanted to do when i moved out was to cook..i like to cook and i especially love to bake..desserts=P..but living at home i never had much time to do that or the space since i'd get home late from work and my mom would already have dinner done..so yay i finally got to move out and do my own thing. so i started to dabble in some recipes i learned from foodnetwork of course! a-la rachael ray and company.

and i was content. then i started to get real busy a few weeks after moving in b/c of all the christmas stuff going on, attempting to start another marathon training schedule..but that just didn't fit in anymore.. and then from january til now, studying for this exam..which will finally be over next weekend!..so you could say that i got kind of busy right? and i'm not using that as an excuse to say i never want to cook/bake again..it's not. all i'm saying is that i just don't have time for it until my test is over. is that wrong? am i not allowed to want to put this test as a priority for me right now? i already have plans on finding a place i can take cooking lessons at, what new things i want to make, what stuff i have to buy...BUT after my test. so i don't really appreciate getting lectured on how i'm not putting my all into my dreams of being a good cook. it's just on hiatus. i dunno..i guess it's all a difference in opinion.

here i was thinking i was doing just fine with everything..yeah stressing here and there for this test. but thinking about all the stuff that i can do after it's over got me going to try and do my best. but apparently to some it's just not good enough. which up to now i still don't get. but whatevers. everyone's always got something to say right? so yah, you could say that got me kinda..well really irritated when the subject came up. but oh well..time to get over it..b/c i don't need to be thinking about that while my test is already next week..yes my test..yes a priority for me. ahh i feel a bit better now.
