"Lessons", anyone?

Not that anyone cares, but I don't see the point in writing long journals anymore. Granted, I only had one 'long' journal entry... but you get the point.

So basically, I had a life-changing experience the other day. When I say 'life-changing', I don't mean that I did something awesome, like helping homeless kids in Kenya. It just means that something affected me so utterly that I can never be the same about that something again.

Anyway, I was excited because it was the third time I'd had it the whole year. They always come last-minute (e.g. I genuinely learned not to procrastinate the day before a huge math test that I did not study for). But I like to perceive them as something from God... I don't know. In any case, these 'life-changing' lessons started, and it's been pretty helpful... while also being weird.

Have any of you had these lessons too? Here, let me explain further.

So the first time I got this 'life-changing' lesson, I realized that I couldn't be so clingy to the past. So then, as if by miracle, I totally moved on from all the 'sadness' and whatever else unnecessarily emo in the childhood that was never really sad to begin with. Anyway, I began to feel better. I began to organize my life a little more... have a better goal for the future and whatnot. I began to realize that I really should stop procrastinating, for one thing!

It was freakin' awesome: I didn't feel so 'inert and immobile' (literally... in non-emo ways) in life anymore! O_o

But then I had this second 'lesson', and I realized that I had to move on to the future (change the life I've got). Accepting my past (blah, blah, blah) wasn't good enough to 'change my life' - I'd needed something to move on to the future. So I began to realize that I had the right ideas to change my life (successfully), but that I just couldn't bring myself to do them (*cough* I procrastinated too much *cough*).

So, even though my mind was fully awakened to how I was to change my life, I was still procrastinating. At this point, I guessed that another lesson was probably in order. I just hoped it would be soon.

Then I got this third 'lesson' the other day, which basically made me realize what a lazy slob I've been my whole life. It was crazy! Now I hardly procrastinate! If that's not some divine intervention, I don't know what is.

Somehow, these 'lessons' (as last-minute as they are) have fixed up this lazy, emo sludge my life has been drowning in for the past 8 years, and only in the span of 3 months! It was all oddly reminiscent of Tolstoy's "What Men Live By", but who cares? My life has changed drastically, and for the better. =D

I don't know... these lessons have been literally miraculous (in terms of how much they affected my life), and were usually triggered by something insignificant, like looking for good backgrounds to download on my cell phone. It's weird... but I'm so grateful that I've had these lessons.

It's as if God got tired of watching me be an idiot and just began reprogramming my brain (ahaha...). But in any case, these 'lessons' have been really interesting, and awesomely helpful: Have any of you had these in your lives? =D

...Yeah. - _ -

I could write hundreds of poems, stories, and more, but no one would give a damn. So I decided to doodle, just to get the pageviews up (this is not working out thus far).

Besides that, I just suck.
