BE INSPIRED. BE DETERMINED

Tip 1: Draw inspiration from others
I get up from the chair and prance around the house, my Inspiration Detector on the lookout. 


Silence.

The detector must be faulty, I thought. 


Beep. 
Beep. 
BEEP BEEP BEEP. 

Ho! I sensed a strong surge of determination and energy coming from downstairs, I ran.

There he was, the source of that incredible wave in the form of an eight year old, his hands clutching the black device, fingers punching away.

"Hadouken!"

Yup, I drew determination alright, and I beat The Boss of Street Fighter II in arcade mode. 

Rad.

Tip 2: Don’t think; just act
Usually on days like this I would spend all day working my brain, you know, weigh out the pros and cons of studying, my ever lasting battle between my conscience and.. the rest of me. My conscience being the minority here.

Today, I heed the advice of this article and act.

"Why should we buy the gold disc, original and not the purple disc DVD-R."

That's right, just watch a movie.

Tip 3: Strengthen your will by exercising it
Here's my well thought out Increase Your Will Power Routine.

120 minutes of DETERMIN-ADIO
Watch TV when you're supposed to be doing work, and think about work while you're watching TV.
Note : You are allowed to mute the Guilt Voice.

3 minutes of POWER-TRAINING
Turn up the volume on your iPod* and move your feet to remind yourself how important studying is to your future.


Warning : Music might have amnesic properties
*iPod can be replaced with any electronic device that emits sound.


5 minutes of WILL MEDITATION

Think aloud, I will do my work, I will do my work, I will do my work.

Good job, you.

Tip 4: Think about what you really want

I really want to catch the premier of the seventh instalment of Harry Potter.

Tom Felton on the far right, oh yes, he is. (: 

Tip 5: Imagine an iron centre within you


AC/DC's Back In Black plays in my head.

 Robert Downey Jr is a sexy beast.

Eat, Pray, Grow fatter

So much to do, so little will to do it.

This is me, too lazy to even type a proper goodbye.

Ta.

Distract me thrice from my vice

This façade is falling apart, I can feel it. Cracks are forming, walls are crumbling, how long more can I keep this up? The silence, it taunts me. Lures me in like how a butterfly would a child. And when I am in its chilling embrace, it devours me, inside out, ever so slowly.

Everything feels so surreal. College, friends, family. My innocence is being raped over and over again, bleeding me dry of my naivety. Cynical, doubtful, frustrated. I don't know, and I don't care enough to know. Its happening again, I'm withdrawing.

My thoughts are quiet. Its happening again.

Temper temper little one, hush now. Don't start those tears for there is no end to the beginning. Denial? Perhaps. It has kept me sane thus far. Sanity, such a relative term, it differs from person to person.

I like the silence, that's what scares me. The fact that I want to be destroyed. I am looking for trouble, hunting for it. Trouble tries to elude me, but I always find it, always.

I am tired, not of anything or anyone. I am just exhausted.

I want to love myself, but I don't know how.
