brb // detoxifying from work-life in progress

Depending on how you see it, being empathetic can be good or bad. 

I really do feel everything, so very deeply. And I embrace this part of me.

But lately,I think I can get too carried away with it sometimes, to the extent that it can tire me even though it shouldn't be my business to handle in the first place.

But I can't help it. I can't help myself from desiring more for the world to be a better place for every single human being living in it, every single time I see someone in a less fortunate position. For a kinder world and for a fairer world. 

However, whenever I see someone who is in a less fortunate position yet they still proudly live their simple life happily and contentedly (if there's such a word), I'll always feel such deep deep joy :') I respect them so much and they remind me so much of things I tend to forget within an instant, every single time without fail. I guess these are some of the small (but inherently huge) things that make me love humans. I love people who love life and make the best out of their limited time here on earth.

Definitions of "Job"

Merriam-Webster:Job - A regular remunerative position  

Oxford Dictionary:Job - A paid position of regular employment

Cambridge Dictionary:
Job - The regular work that a person does to earn money

Business Dictionary:Job - A group of homogeneous tasks related by similarity of functions. When performed by an employee in an exchange for pay, a job consists of duties, responsibilities, and tasks (performance elements) that are (1) defined and specific, and (2) can be accomplished, quantified, measured, and rated. From a wider perspective, a job is synonymous with a role and includes the physical and social aspects of a work environment. Often, individuals identify themselves with their job or role (foreman, supervisor, engineer, etc.) and derive motivation from its uniqueness or usefulness. 

Urban Dictionary:
Job -
1. Means by which at least 30% of your life is stolen from you to enrich the owners of a company making useless shit that some other poor idiot in a job will buy.
2. A futile effort for financial independence, social acceptance and personal happiness.

Isn't it interesting to see how the definition of a job evolves (or did not evolve) with time? The ideal that we see today that your job should be your passion... Could it be a result of the desire to make life easier for living? To make yourself happier? Or could it be a result of greed? Of wanting something more than what you really need? Of wanting to have the best of both worlds? It's interesting to see that a job is consistently seen as something done regularly to earn across all the definitions in the dictionaries. Just those 2 factors, that's all. I wonder when did "passion" come into the equation? Have I been wanting too much too from a job?

Lol-ed at the Urban Dictionary's definitions anyway.
:-)

there is still so much possibilities, hopes and untapped potential right at this moment so don't you dare give them all up and succumb to whatever you are surrendering yourself to now

Gibberish description of my mind and soul

maybe it's time

*

on another note, was finding some files in my old laptop and i came across some old photos and videos from the past. sometimes you look back and realise how much you've grown, how much you've shed off... how much of that awkward and confused kid you were.

Just wanna shout out to each and single one of you who still stuck by side even when i was in that awkward embarrassing stage of my life...
thank you, it means a lot. and it shows a lot.

"There’s something special in recognizing even something brief can be powerful. Even something brief can be life-changing. You made an indelible impression on me.  

You reminded me to take chances. With myself, with other people. You reminded me that not everything has to go according to plan. You reminded me that it’s okay to accept what comes and love it every second its here."
