Happy(?) New Year, Hopefully Recently, some of my friends opened theirs heart to me. And the contents were similar. They’re feeling anxiety right now. One friend is a very smart person (to me) who graduated an university from the states and also got MA degree in there which is one of my dream. She said she doesn’t know where she could meet a man and asked me how do I meet people? The other friend is a very positive and stable person (to me) who married with a trust worthy man and being well with a lovely pup. She asked me can I guess how long could I work in the company? Do I know where is my next? She seems to worry about her unclear future. I replied an answer to the first friend. Well.. find a group which is related with your favorite habit. Or focus on what I like and do it. For instance, I like running and working out so I attended a marathon and then I found some friends like me. She asked me how to connect with strangers? I said.. naturally? She asked back ‘Naturally’? I meant it literally naturally. Maybe my answer is like a schoolbook. Maybe her needs may not be obvious. But seriously though there is no way or there are many ways. And for the second friend, I presented a book which is named Status Anxiety by Alain de Botton and said I’m the same person like you who is feeling same anxiety. I empathized her thoughts. I think we’re all feeling similar anxiety. Especially end of the year or beginning of the year. Because we’re getting older, closer with the death. Sounds scary but that’s natural. At a time like this, we have to focus on me rather than compare with the others. Do it anything what I can do rather than do think only. Try to fill my life with what I love to do. Enjoy small things which makes me feel good. Just being a ball of sunshine by myself, being satisfied as I am as I have as I did.
