My topic for my conversation class today was Annoying things. At first, I thought the topic wouldn’t interest the students but it actually went well. During the class I realized that a great many things do annoy me. Neil was not surprised when I relayed my realization to him after class. In fact, he would be the one to know, since I always complain about something trivial that annoys me everyday in our small office.
Maybe I should lighten up. I should try not to let little things bother me but they do. Maybe that should be another resolution for this year. But it’s so difficult to change overnight. Actually I do think I have gotten better than I have in the past. I remember I used to really get upset about little things. Now I do worry a little but I don’t let it stress me out as much. I think that comes with age, and the realization that life is made of annoyances but you need to get over them or otherwise your life will be full of stress.
However, I strongly believe that a person should vent her anger or it will build up, and ultimately hurt the person more than any minor annoyance should.
