Teenagehood Misfits

Heyy long time no see! (이봐요, 오랜만이에요!) You're probably confused by the title "outlets". I haven't posted for 2 months and all of a sudden, I show up with a random title like that. Well, this is kinda like a rant to express what's on my mind right now and this may also express why I haven't posted in 2 months. However, the main reason I haven't posted in 2 months is, of course, due to the ever-increasing workload and no time to carry out my grand personal ideas. ************************************************** Before I go on, allow me to define an outlet.

A lot of us tend to put too much weight and importance on things that are somewhat mediocre to other people such as friendships. Not everyone shares the same values or ideas on friendships like others do hence we tend to overthink certain things that happen.  Let me explain with a bit of context.  I used to do this but I eventually learnt and stopped doing it. That is, thinking people value me as much as I value them. For example, I used to be rea...

Hello and welcome back! To commence with the first sort of episode in this blog series, I'll start by illustrating my thoughts and findings on a question posed by a friend. This was a question a friend asked on their status once and it got me thinking. I felt compelled to reply and I thought I'd share what I said and why. I'm going to insert exactly how the conversation went.  (I'll also ask a couple of friends and share their responses with you :) This is how it all started. Friend on status: Why do people lie Me: Because people are dumb and don't deserve to be humans  Friend: I like dat Friend: Can I put this on my status Me: Sure Me: Liars ain't humans Me: They're flipping animals. Friend: Don't  u lie Me: Nope Friend: Okay.... how Me: Uh... just tell the truth Me:  Maybe to parents, not the WHOLE truth but I don't lie Me: Just be honest Friend: Sounds so simple Me: Basically if you ...
