Mabilis ako magalit. Mabilis din naman mawala. For a long time I considered it helpless. Ganun talaga ako e.
But we are born blank-slate daw. Meaning, I wasn’t born short-tempered. Therefore it’s still possible to change.
That made me look back on occasions I got really mad. Naalala ko there’s always regret whenever I burst out and say/do the most stupid things.
I recognized the pattern: Galit › Stupidness › Regret.
Kaya tuwing nagagalit ako inaalala ko na nagiging bobo ako. Tuwing hindi ako galit inaalala ko na nakakabobo magalit.

Maybe I’m Wrong
An old note from 2012. When I feel too sure, I worry my mind is closing. Someone said I lack conviction. Maybe, but doubt keeps me growing, not stagnating.
Unlimited
An old note from 2013. Two things seem unlimited: wants and excuses. Excuses filter what I want from what I really want. Only the things I really want survive.
Ownership
I used to love the sharing economy and owning little. Now I value owning a car, a home, and my decisions. It costs more, but I have more say in my own life.
