Crystallization

Do you ever get those moments when everything becomes a lot clearer and your life opens out in front of you and you see it for what it is? I think everyone does dont they?

Ive just realised how completely pointless some things are, all the tings we learn through our lives just so that we can become a functional object in society and fit into our intended purpose, they seem like such shit.

Of course they all have a point, there is a reason why we have pointless crap in our lives; because lots of pointless things add up to one very important thing, like the fact that we will be good at our proffession, which hopefully means we will lead a good quality life. Its just such a shame that people with passion for a subject have to go through so much pain on its behalf. A lot of the time this leads to a loss of that passion, the life can be sucked out of you and you feel like you are becoming a drone. I dont know if you ever get it back, or whether the process of misery is just one of the things that you need to be successful, possibly why most proffessionals can be so cynical or pretentious.

I dont want to be a victim of this but im afraid to say that it is already happening, i just hope i emerge from the other end of the tunnel into the light...

Live your life?

It was in The Devil Wears Prada where they said it and it has always been in my mind ever since; 'Let me know when your personal life goes up in smoke, that means its time for a promotion'. It makes me wonder, can you have a perfect balance between work and your personal life? I dont think so, ive not experienced it, one of them will always take priority, its not always a bad thing but cant be very helthy if its constant. Im saying this because ive got that kind of thing happening to me right now, i dont really have a personal life because of the amount of work i have, and i know the work will be worth it in the end, but it makes me sad that i cant have a life until ive left uni.
