Call me weird, but sometimes I just like to isolate myself from everyone and think about things. It’s just something about staying up late at night that allows me to focus more on the task at hand. Staying up late at night gives me a chance while everyone is sleeping to think about life especially. To think about where I am as a person and where I want to be. Some times we really need to step back from everyone and everything and re-evaluate ourselves, we need to step back and think about situations that become too overwhelming to deal with during the day time. Being up late feels great,it’s peaceful when everyone in the house is sleeping and only my thoughts and I are awake. If i’m having trouble studying for a class and stay up and study for it, I usually end up discovering new ways to solve a problem or stumble over something I've missed that caused me to have difficulty in the first place. This quote relates to all of my blogs that I've posted this semester.
From reading my previous blog posts, I'm sure it is pretty obvious to you guys that I'm very in tact with my emotions. I'm a sensitive person and sometimes every little thing bothers or get to me in some type of way. I tend to do things without thinking and often say things that I don't mean and then want to take it back. Pretty often there are aspects of my life, events within it, and pressing issues, that takes time to think about. Some people find it easier to wake up early or talk to others about what's going on with them but I prefer to stay up late at night and reflect,plan and organize. Staying up late or all night gives me a sense of adventure in a way, I can stay up one night and create a whole picture in my head of what I want to do tomorrow and what has to be don in order to resolve an issue. I get "in the zone". From Biology class, I learned that usually a long time before actually staying up late, our subconscious mind decides that it will be a work night. So this is most likely the reason why if we're going through a break-up, a fight with someone or simply dealing with other issues at home why sleep doesn't come.
Moral of this story is sometimes when we're going through things in life to take a step back and evaluate things. Often some of us find comfort in going to others for advice or unknowingly make irrational decisions without thinking things through. We should take time away from everyone and find our zone and reflect, think, plan and become better problem solvers.
I like this post because the advice you give is something I like to live by. You tell the audience a little about yourself and I like that you started with a quote to go off of. I also like that this post ties together what you personally thought about your own blog posts. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteThe only way I can think to enhance this post is to make your ending point more apparent throughout the post. It's a great piece of advice, but it's overshadowed by the general idea of staying up late.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the structure you keep in your blog posts. You start of with an idea, a broad one, and expand on it. I think you should write about your experience more rather than talk to the reader and explain what you are doing.
