I tend to get stressed easier in Shenzhen than in the UK. Two reasons might explain this. To start with, I avoid thinking about job, internship, and wages etc. on purpose. Instead of worrying about my present or future financial situation, I indulge myself into academic work (on the basis that the money in my bank account allow me to do so). On the contrary, in Shenzhen, everyone around me remind me of how bad the economic is and how struggling they are. No decent degrees, no decent jobs, no decent house, no this and no that. Writing about this, I just wonder how much the term DECENT can generate a lot of pressure. Is it necessary? What is it for? Me or the invisible or imaginary audience.
Appreciation. I always teach myself to be grateful. To thank everything that we have instead of what we don’t have. And if you ask me what’s the most precious thing in life. My answer would be health. I have that. The people I love have that. Isn’t that one of the things that need to be appreciated?
Don’t overthink cuz you never know what good stuff is going to happen Katherine. Good night.
