oh, summer.
well, sorry, but here it goes again. i don't really have anyone to talk to but this journal (yes, i'm already aware that my situation is an extremely pathetic one, you don't have to remind me).
"public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate"
that is most likely true. someone with self confidence succeeds, and someone with a lack of self confidence fails. it's all about personality--some have the personality to always have a great deal of self confidence, and some don't. those who have self confidence are the kind are always willing to remain optimistic and hopeful no matter what the situation, while those who don't are the kind who have a completely pragmatic and cynical outlook on life and are incredibly critical of absolutely everyone--but mostly of themselves. i'll let you guess which one i am.
half the time i love the way i am, and the other half of the time i absolutely hate it. now is the half of the time that i absolutely hate it. i still can't decide whether the fact that i have no job and no life is due to my worldview or whether it is simply due to circumstance. i'm sure its a bit of both. but i can't help thinking that this whole lack of self confidence thing is a complete downward spiral. if you have nothing to be confident ABOUT to begin with, then where the hell are you supposed to get self confidence?
i despise the fate i've made for myself.
