Am I weak?
First and foremost, this entry is very serious. If you find it humorous or amusing, shame on you.
Today is my 2nd day to have an LJ account, and today was the first time I THOUGHT of giving up. I have never given up on anything in the entirety of my short but colorful life. Despite the daunting feeling of failure, I still finished all my tasks and plans. Whatever I set my mind to, I usually accomplish.
Today, April 29, 2006, I almost decided to quit and bail out of my LJ account. For starters, as I had been used to the controls and gizmos of Multiply, I found it hard to locate the controls, buttons, services, functions and other stuff that I either needed or wanted. Also, I always kept on comparing Multiply and LJ. Such, as I found out the hard way, should not be the case.
A friend told me that creating an LJ account changed her life. I laughed at the idea. She explained that it opened new doors to music and a whole lot more. I still laughed. Now I understand how it is "life-changing." It made me realize how narrow-minded I have become over the past years. i used to be able to think of talking animals and other super-natural things when I was a kid. Somehow I lost my imagination. Along with it my once broad-mindedness. I realized that I had become a hypocrite as I once chided my grandfather for not wanting to use a computr and sticking with his rickety type-writer. To an almost similar degree, I had become that by wanting to stick to my lovely Multiply.
I hope that you kids won't make that same mistake. Numerous wars have been started and brutally ended because of leaders not wanting to open up to ideas.
