  unwanted intertia and its psychological ramifications
i'm finding it increasingly difficult to enjoy the lighter moments in my life as my current situation - indonesia and not being able to find a job there - skews my fundamental demeanor. i feel like i can't shake the deep-rooted agitation that i feel over that. people i meet ask me what i'm doing, friendships grow and also fade in reflection both of my intention to leave and my reality of staying. it frustrates me that i'm seemingly letting this temporary annoyance keep me from enjoying life the way that i know i should

Respectfully suggesting you discard your overused thesaurus and go do something/anything constructive as a means to experiment with finding a Truely Useful Purpose in Life(tm).
Hint -- it's not about you.
 
buddy, it's my freaking blog. it is about me. i make no promises to use this thing as a means of social commentary or communicative experimentation or anything else. so why don't you drop the uninsightful bullshit commentary and take this blog for what it's worth: a means to express what's on my mind, whatever it may be - and with whatever vocabulary may inspire me.

respectfully,
the blogger
 
Found your blog under blogger.com's "recently updated" list.

Certainly your blog is about you.

More specifically, as an aid to an ethnicity-independent "direction finding process", my point was that you may benefit from reading some biographies about people who came to realize their own life was not "about" them, but the people they love.
 
James,
I agree that my vocabulary is unnecessarily complicated at times. but that's the way it comes into my mind, so that's the way i write it down. I apologize for reacting so publicly and so harshly to your first comment, but when you likened the way i naturally express myself to an 'overused thesaurus' i got defensive. I appreciate your second comment. I feel it communicates much more clearly than your first and I think I could learn something from you advice.

Respectfully,
Manoah
