This is definitely a question for my good old friend but I’ll try to answer them.
I like to think I’m optimistic but my overall report card says I’m pessimistic. That may sound strange especially because I “seem” to enjoy life but that’s where it ends. I’m very good at performing. I’m so good that I convince myself sometimes. But the truth is living is exhausting, so is performing. Real life catches up with me sometimes and I need a break or two.
My love life might have an expiry date
Apparently, my romantic love has a timeline of 6/7 months. I get excited about the person for the first few months and after a while, the excitement fades till I can’t feel anything anymore. Like I still love them but no longer in love with them (I really hope this makes sense to you guys). I’m currently in a relationship that has passed a year mark and I’d like to think that this is not true even though it has proven to be true for my other romantic relationships.
Inconsistency. The most consistent thing about me is my inconsistency. The only great thing about this is that it makes me spontaneous. I’m spontaneous with ideas, decisions and people. I like to think that it contributes to what makes me likeable. But while adulting, inconsistency is a burden. That’s why I totally suck at being an adult. I think it’s boring anyway. Oh, one more good thing about inconsistency is that it makes me an interesting person. Whew!
Lazy perfectionist
Nature shouldn’t have allowed that! It’s a deadly combination, I mean, it’s going to send you to the early grave. I’m the laziest person you’d ever met and also a perfectionist. There’s nothing I’ve ever created that I did not criticise. It’s really exhausting. It’s like running without having a direction or goal. Sometimes, I work on it, other times, I say fuck it!!!
What are the negative traits you have? Which one of them are you working on?
