Good day, people of Hive! Welcome to my blog. Today's topic is from Hive-Learners which says:Learning/Unlearning. So let's dive in.
Honestly, Lately I have been thinking about some things I am trying to learn again in my life and also some things I am trying to change about myself. The truth that people don't know is that life is like a journey where we keep learning every day, that's why we see some people still furthering their education because they want to keep learning, and sometimes we also need to unlearn certain habits in our lives so that we can become a better people.
One of the things I am currently learning again is fashion designing. Before I gained admission into the university, I was already learning about fashion designing, how to sew. I really enjoyed it
because I love when I see people putting on different type of designs clothes and I love how they always create the design with their creativity and I love the idea of making clothes. I was learning how to measure body parts, how to cut fabrics, and other basic things about sewing.
But when I gained admission into the university, I could not continue with it. School activities took most of my time, and I was not always at home where I could practice. The only time I usually go home(my hometown) is during December, and that period is always the festive season when everyone is busy. Because of that, I didn鈥檛 really get the chance to continue learning properly.
Another problem was that I didn鈥檛 have access to a sewing machine while I was in school. Because I was not practicing everyday, I started forgetting some of the things I had learned before. At some point, I felt bad about it because it is something I really want to learn well.
So, last month, I decided that instead of waiting and wasting my time doing nothing, I should try to help myself. So I started downloading fashion designing videos from YouTube and watching them from the beginning again. The videos I downloaded explained things like how to measure body parts correctly, how to cut fabrics, and other basic steps in sewing. Even though I don鈥檛 have a sewing machine to practice right now, watching the videos is helping me remember the things I had forgotten which I'm happy. I believe that when I finally get the chance to continue learning with a sewing machine, it will be much easier for me than me wasting my time doing nothing.
Another thing I am also working on in my life is my anger isssue. I noticed that sometimes I get angry easily, especially when someone does something that annoys me a lot. It is not as bad as before, but I still know that it is something I need to work on for my own betterment.
One thing that makes me happy is that I can see some changes in myself already compared to before which I'm grateful for. Though there are still times when someone makes me angry, but I try to control myself and not react immediately. I try to think first before responding because if I respond without thinking I know it will make the matter even more worse. It is not always easy, but I keep trying because I know it will help me in the future.
I believe learning these things will really help me in my life. Fashion designing is a skill that can help me stand on my own one day and maybe even become a source of income for me in the future because that's what lot of people are doing for a living. At the same time, learning to control my anger will help me have even better relationships with people.
In conclusion, for me, this is part of growing in life. I may not be perfect, but the effort I make to improve myself is what really matters. Every small step I take now is helping me become a better person which I'm thankful for.
