It makes a difference

To know how people lived outside dancing.
I am glad to know that none of them is living by themselves. All of them are still living with their parents. It makes more sense now and confirmed that I am just too crazy to try dancing and handling life by myself together.

Even my coach, whom I admired is still with his parents. It confirmed with my suspicions before. I spread myself too thin.

I downloaded the sims 2 for fun and simulated my life. Tried to manage the time and all the activities I do. What I realized was that my sim's comfort and aspiration level was so low that they complain all the time. That made me think. Have I been complaining all the time about my life? Maybe I am too harsh on what I am doing.

So I tried simulating living life in few other ways and finally found the balance. This game taught me alot. I was really interested in the parts where it's similar with real life. To build up the mood by achieving small aspirations in order to be in the right mood to focus on the big ones. That's what I haven't been doing so far. I've aimed for the higher ones all the time that I am not functioning at my prime.

So to humour myself. I started managing my life as I would with sims 2. Here is a list of my aspirations.
