BAIT, HUNT, KILL!

Heung-Ki: cuz it’s like this: hunting for jobs is like hunting for animals

 to catch a rabbit, you need a carrot, right?

  for a bear you need honey. maybe a nice salmon

  so what animal/ job are you hunting for?

you gotta put out different bait/ lines on ur resume

Angela:  okay leme send you my two versions… and an example job posting

  of what i would ideally like to be able to BAIT , hunt, and KILL

Heung-Ki: bait = resume,

hunt = calling, emailing, dispersing resume and networking

killing = interviewing & persuading the interviewer you’re the person for the job

Angela: LOL that’s a pretty damn good metaphor

Life is a stage

Life is but a stage. Shakespeare said it right. Everything is pre-rehearsed, pre-meditated, memorizing pre-planned scripts. Only some can naturally ad-lib, are naturals, can be the appropriate character to the coordinating scene. But most only can be natural in a few scenes, such as scenario of family or friends. But for the scene of career-life, gotta memorize interview answers, gotta get into character of the bright cheerful enthused employee. But like a friend reiterates, gotta fake it til ya make it. Altho seemingly fraudulent and insincere, there might be honest truth in the philosophy. Because repeated actions will turn to habit, then habit will turn into character. And whatever character we desire to play – gotta work hard memorizing lines, studying the scripts, really get into character until it becomes natural. It’s true. Like everyone says. Gotta put youself out there. It might be scary, heck even terrifying. To put yourself out there is to put yourself in plain view to be observed and criticized. But audience and critics be damned. Bc if life is a stage, and you never have the guts to put yourself on the stage – then you are not living.

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts..
-Shakespear

Happiness

Angela: what do you think you need in life to be happy? you, personally
Heung-Ki: a good look at true misery hehe
Angela: hm. interesting point.
Angela: so i should take a good look at some misery
Heung-Ki: haha, maybe it’ll even find you
Heung-Ki: but i found happiness to be relative and a choice

Angela: maybe grass is always greener on the other side
Angela: what do you think?
Allan: of course. the grass is always greener. but you should water your grass sometimes.

Beneficiaries of Chance

“When my husband died, because he was so famous & known for not being a believer, many people would come up to me — it still sometimes happens — & ask me if Carl changed at the end & converted to a belief in an afterlife. They also frequently ask me if I think I will see him again. Carl faced his death with unflagging courage & never sought refuge in illusions. The tragedy was that we knew we would never see each other again. I don’t ever expect to be reunited with Carl. But, the great thing is that when we were together, for nearly twenty years, we lived with a vivid appreciation of how brief & precious life is. We never trivialized the meaning of death by pretending it was anything other than a final parting. Every single moment that we were alive & we were together was miraculous — not miraculous in the sense of inexplicable or supernatural. We knew we were beneficiaries of chance… That pure chance could be so generous & so kind… That we could find each other, as Carl wrote so beautifully in Cosmos, you know, in the vastness of space & the immensity of time… That we could be together for twenty years. That is something which sustains me & it’s much more meaningful…

The way he treated me & the way I treated him, the way we took care of each other & our family, while he lived. That is so much more important than the idea I will see him someday. I don’t think I’ll ever see Carl again. But I saw him. We saw each other. We found each other in the cosmos, and that was wonderful.“

So This Is Goodbye

Blissful Boob | Complex Contentment

Also something I’ve contemplated: trade the over-analytical mind to be a “blissful boob living a life devoid of meaning”. Simple people, simple pleasures. Simple threshold of happiness. The only tradeoff of our complexity is instead of fitting in so easily, being understood, or feeling acceptance is – when we do find it, it’s at a deeper more meaningful level. So if our contentment is at a general lower median than rest of the populous-  is it in fact worth the momentary spikes of affinity?   -{email to yt, another complex soul}

Swing Tree

I would be swinging from a broken tree
I would be down on my back looking up at stars at night

Resonate

“During the summer I met some girls that I ended up dating a few times. While it has been fun and not-so-exciting, they aren’t just what I’m looking for even with all the qualities. I just wanted to say thank you for giving me a part of your heart and it is really flattering that someone like you could like me so much. Unfortunately, I just can’t return your feelings. While you may not know it, thank you for reminding me that I will not settle for anything less than I deserve.” *lol ~jonnyap1eseed, #3!

“However, I finally realize that my hope and dreams were always pinned on comfort but now I’m reminded that you can never be too comfortable.  Because comfort can be your best friend or your worst enemy.  Remember to always remind yourself to be satisfied with what you have but never stay too comfortable, strive to make your life better today rather than tomorrow. Remember to always to stay hungry, stay foolish. ” -jonnyapp1eseed
