Just woke up from a nap

…and this idea popped into my head:

We tend to take our own thoughts and feelings too seriously, and those of others not seriously enough.

I sent it to a friend and she said, “I don’t think so.” Isn’t that funny? Here I am thinking that I’ve come up with an idea that’ll change my life, and she thinks it’s not even true. It proves the idea right.

I know it’s certainly true for me. I can look at almost every personal relationship in my life and say for sure that I could do better in each of them. I feel like I want to set a timer for every two hours and remember that thought every time it rings until the idea and I have become one.

  1. the idea and you become one?

    どういう意味かってこと? It means I want the idea to become second nature.
