don't limit yourself

its almost 4 in the morn, got a mid term tomorrow but i cant sleep. a lot of thoughts running through my head. but a certain thought has been keeping me up... and i want to write it down to see how i feel about it later.

--

often times, people say they cant do this, they cant do that because they say they're a certain way. "because im like this". they think they know, but they have no idea. essentially, they have no idea because they never broke out of their shell and opened themselves up to new thoughts and ideas. see, when you open up yourself to something new, you are creating an incredible amount of opportunities-- opportunities for greater happiness. once you have opened yourself up and dwelled in this new state of mind, you'll have learned so much in the process. and the best part is, you can always choose to go back if you feel like its not right. maybe this new thing may not have worked out, but you realized that the old way, what you've kept for so long, is that much more valuable. you can cherish it, and mold it to something even better. and i dont think i have to really explain the benefits of realizing that something new is actually good because we all know how it feels. maybe i'll add that trying something new doesn't necessarily mean losing something of the past.

and i dont know how much this has to do with what i've stated so far, but it takes human brains about 2-3 weeks to break out of habits, or to create new habits, although it takes some dedication. i find this interesting.


ah maybe i'll be able to sleep now. i wonder who'll ever read this
