the easy way out
I have been pondering about myself more frequently these days, i seem to never to want to take the easy way in anything; even when a perfect opportunity presents itself to me, be it in career or personal, i never seem to appreciate them, i always wanted something challenging; and i do whine and complain why things have to be that hard for me when i was walking down those paths.
maybe it's just a mentality or a state of mind, i should re-adjust myself more.. appreciate what is presented and look at things with a more realistic approach.

everyone loves a challenge, some more than others. it's not a bad thing, just make sure u dont' overdo it.
how was ur trip to la?
it's because people like to complain more than reflect on the good. i'm guilty of that too. i like a challenge, but when i'm in the process i complain about it. and then when it's all over, i feel a sense of accomplishment even though i'm as tired as heck.
coincidence, because this was what popped up in my head a couple of days ago...
The Road Not Taken
Robert Frost
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
nothing wrong with "not" taking the easy way out... maybe that's why you have so much more travel stories to tell than most!
