"If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people."
We are back on the #weekend-engagement initiative for the first time of this year. And today I have brought you some facts about myself. The catch is that one of them is a lie, but I won't tell you which one. Read carefully and try to guess which one. Once the weekend comes to a close, I shall announce the people who found out the lie in the comment section.
Let's begin!
Fact 1
I love learning new things. Inside my head, there's this die stay to stop learning is accepting death beforehand. However, there manner in which I have learnt may things might surpise you. I have a huge procrastination problem; but have enough insight to use it in my favour. So, when I get into bing watching, I'm generally on a topic. Let's say it's cooking. Then, I'm spend hours learning about recipes, techniques, ingredients, gear, etc.
By the time I come out of this binge marathon, my brain is already taking into storage the useful things I have learnt form this experience. Then, I can go to the practical part of the things. Some of the nice things I have taken from these marathons are how to make sourdough, how to use a knife, how to sharpen things.
The sky is the limit when you can learn while procrastinating. Of course, this doesn't mean some projects get delayed from time to time. It's still a work in progress!
Fact 2
I'm have anger issues. It all started that day I met my best friend. We are friends because I pummeled him down on kindergarten. He pissed me off during a bad time and I didn't have the same kind of selfcontrol I exercise now. However, this control is just a lid on a pot. When things get not enough, the goes flying away and things get messy.
I will curse and swear and brake things. Once, I always broke Embla in a fit of rage. I must admit I have never hurt someone (besides my friend) during these tantrums. It's more about breaking stuff. Nonetheless, the worrisome deal with it are these idea of inflicting the harm onto myself.
This is a therapy thing. And therapy is quite expensive, so being poor is just going to make this worse.
Let's just hope I don't get myself literally killed.
Fact 3
I joke around and always play the fool, but deep down I'm a very melancholic person. This is something that has been on forever. I've always felt this longing for things. It isn't a weird thing about young people nowadays. I can't even pinpoint what is the exact case of it.
It hasn't work bad for me. Since I understand how everyone needs to listened. Yes, even when what they are saying is totally bonkers! Feeling blue all day makes you enjoy a lot more all those moments of true joy even more. It also drives away all these weird notions of life being a joyride.
It's a pretty messed up world out there. I don't consider this feeling akin to being depressed. I guess the main difference is that I can do stuff and don't feel like the mood drags me down with it. I know depressed people have these moments in which they cannot will themselves to do anything. Maybe they can hide some with being highly functional, but when nobody is looking, they are just doing nothing. They drown in their feelings. I tend to work a lot when no one is looking and leave my laziness to whenever people are watching.
Those were some facts about myself. The premise of the exercise is to make them as plausible as possible. That way it gets harder to get to the lie. It won't be easy. But to tell the truth, I enjoyed a lot writing them.
Good luck to all people trying to guess which is the lie. Don't forget to leave your guess in the comment section. I'll be more than happy to tell you whether you're right or wrong once the weekend is over.
Have a great weekend!
Stay creative!
