You Gotta Love The Things You Do

I'm supposed to be doing my assignment (need to start on with the model because it's gonna take a lot of my time) but then tsk... I'm inspired to update this thing. Besides, I've got awesome blog layout I don't want it to go to waste by not updating it. 

So the thing is, I've been so happy these 2 months here. Honestly, there isn't a day when I'm sad. I'm so happy I'm starting to get freaked out by my own happiness. I think partly is because I've got awesome good bunch of friends who never fail to make me laugh. 

Another part, is because I love what I'm doing now. 

And then I realise how important it is to love what we're doing in life. I've waited since I was 13 (or around 14) to get into a design course. Sure, architecture is not something I'd imagine myself doing. But then I've grown to love it, even though I've just dealt with it for 2 months. The awesome feeling when I'm designing something, the kind of feeling when I'm drawing, when I crack my head for ideas, and keep solving problems and improvise on them. It makes me think that nothing's impossible. I love creating new things that I never thought I could do. It's called happiness, muahaha. 

I once read before that "Doing what you do is freedom, loving what you do is happiness". Today, I fully understand what this quote means. I can't say if this interest of mine is going to last as I have not get into my major. I'm only a year 1 student and our major starts in Year 2. I've heard of even heavier load of work in the future so who knows, I might not be able to handle the workload. But as of right now, I really really love what I'm doing. I may not be the best designer (and in fact I always think that I'm never good enough) but I love the fact that I keep on improving and doing my best for each project. 

... this is why my dear, it is so important to love what you do and do what you love. Because they make you happy. Isn't that what life is all about in the end? Things that we always fight for in our life, doesn't matter what we fight for, whether it's for money, job security, family, materials; eventually we just want to be happy. It's ironic how some people keep fighting for things but they end up being unhappy in the process.

I understand that not everyone has the choices to choose (for that, I thank my parents who have the ability to let me choose what I want today). I have friends who end up choosing things they might not like, courses that they do not enjoy.  But no matter what, I think it is really important to appreciate what you're doing, because for me, there's no waste in education. I've never regretted all the subjects I learnt in my life, although most are not related to what I'm studying now. What we do may not be what we like initially, but if we take a second to appreciate our assignments, tests, lectures and all the things we learnt, we have pretty darn good amount of knowledge in us. 

Thus, you might not be able to do what you love, but at least, try to love what you do. And if you die die also want to do things you love, then fight for it. If you were to give up on it, then learn to love things you don't love.
