Personality:
The Liberty Scale
Complete and
utter balance, perfect, incomprehensible, rigid, balance. This person is all
that and more. In our daily lives we struggle to fit everything we love to do
with everything we have to do all in a single week. Sometimes it’s easier for
others, whereas for some it is a constant struggle to find even a moment for
yourself rather than be caught up doing some other activity requiring our
undivided attention. From activity to activity we drive across town, location
to location, room to room, etc.
There are
those however, that have found all the times and schedules that fit their day
perfectly like a winning Tetris game. These are the people that run by the
clock to all of their activities and nail it perfectly on the dot to
everything. The funny thing is they barely have time for themselves but they
seem to be okay with it most of the time. The world and its schedule is their
masterpiece. But my question is as follows:
Is it so wrong to have a little chaos in your life once in a
while? Maybe even possibly enjoy it?
Sure it would be nice to have
everything in your life figured out but sometimes I think it would be great to
fly by the seat of your pants every now and then and enjoy the ride, but other
times I can see why having a planned out schedule would be nice to. Personally,
I’m horrible at planning things out and figuring out times for people because I
try to compensate everyone and my activities at the same time and it doesn’t
always work like that. A lot of the time I’m barely holding on to my own schedule
and most of the time, other people know my schedule better than I do. Which I
think is pretty pathetic.
The
people that manage to have a perfectly planned life, balancing all their
activities with friends and what they love to do (Codename: The Liberty Scale)
is a life I would like to live. Because not only do I have 8 million things
going on (or at least it feels that way most of the time) but I really wanna be
with good friends and family at the same time. Life is a cruel mistress though
and it’s really hard to plan everything out the way you want. I will say
however to those of you that find yourself sounding like a liberty scale to let
loose just a little bit, doesn’t have to be a whole lot, just enough to sense a
difference in your routine and see if you like it. You may just be surprised
with yourself. I know with all my activities it took me forever to find the
ones I’m truly interested and a lot of trial and error with those sports and
activities that I participated in. In fact, it wasn’t until freshman year did I
realize that I really wanted to get more into theatre, drama, and choir
activities rather than sports. Some of you it may take longer, others, maybe less
time. But find what truly drives you and make the most of it. You’ll become
happier and find balance in your life easier. Love you guys. As always, Peace!
