In that sense, I'm spoilt, for having the attitude that what I want will still come to me even if I do nothing about it. The actual truth is, nobody can be depended upon to give one what one wishes, like a fairy godmother does. Therefore one has to actively pursue what one desires.
But when it comes to relationships, or basically anything involving more than just oneself, things become more complicated. The feelings of the other involved parties must be considered also. Then part of the challenge is to find out what each person wants; another part of the challenge is to find the common goal/compromise, that makes as many people as happy as possible.
What am I rambling about? It's bedtime now and I've got a shitload to do tomorrow, and for the rest of the week. Just have to get through this week, then at least I won't have to worry about any more academic stuff until next year.
