Oh yes. Today is April Fool's Day, the day that we once eagerly anticipated so that we can play tricks on our classmates and teachers. Not anymore. April Fool's has now become an afterthought, together with Valentine's day, birthdays, Christmasses and anniversaries.
As I grow older, things become "de-romanticised" and it becomes more and more difficult to whip up a sense of excitement. Shopping trips overseas become ho-hum, birthday parties are just...that. How do we get excited all over again? How do we relive our childhood emotions of extreme spectrums?? I think working life has jaded all of us. It's sad. Its sad that when work sucks, life sucks.
This year, I want to re-invent the way I look at things. I want to gain some perspective, which i HAVE slowly but surely acquired after one sucky job and the next sucky boss. HA.
Lower your expectations in life. And get excited all over again.
