Here I am, sitting at work during my 5am-9am shift attempting to write my bio paper on the effects of sleep deprivation on hormones and behavior. Can this situation be anymore ironic?
Instead of doing that, I began chatting with some friends about a FB post someone left. Why are most LA Asian girls dumb?
Although I’d never admit it nor word it like that, I do see where this question is coming from. This leads me to my next thought: the difference between West Coast and East Coast.
In no way do I consider myself a “dumb” person. (I’m an LA girl through and through) but have definitely felt less intelligent than my East Coast counterparts. What is that?! A couple of friends and I have discussed that West Coast humor is more vulgar and plain stupid compared to sarcastic humor from the East Coast. Does this apply to general thought process too?
It’s not like I’m any less well read or well educated than my East Coast counterparts. I couldn’t agree more that West Coast people are more “chill” or “laidback” than East Coast people but do we also suffer the consequences of sounding “dumb” in exchange?
I’m jealous of my seemingly more intelligent sounding East Coast counterparts. Our thoughts just seem to run differently. WHY?! SOMEONE HELP ME FIGURE THIS OUT?
I’ve been listening to this song on repeat recently. I used to be one of those adamant I don’t believe in God/religion sucks/Christianity is useless kind of person but through the hard times, I’ve come to believe that I am in great need of some kind of faith. I discovered this group through my recent delving into the Christian faith. Tim Be Told is a Christian based band founded in 2006 by a couple of college students. It’s funny the lyrics to this song speak to me seeing as only 2 years before I was anti-Christian. The confusion I feel within myself and essentially what I want to ask people of me…
Dear friend, please tell me who I am
And start from the inside
Or wait instead, before it’s said
All these monsters I couldn’t hide
Beneath the bed or in my head
If I was stronger they would’ve died
But every once in a while I’m terrified
Hey you, could you analyze my state of mind, my state of mind
What did you recognize? What did you find? What did you find?
Better days I’ve fantasized if I’m satisfied, am I satisfied?
Get rid of this low feeling with soul healing
Get rid of this low feeling with soul healing
Please talk before the clock runs out
And I’m still a mystery
You’re not so wise, I apologize
I still care what you think of me
To survive, I criticize other people that I’ll never be
The truth is, I bruise too easily
Hey you, could you analyze my state of mind, my state of mind
What did you recognize? What did you find? What did you find?
Better days I’ve fantasized if I’m satisfied, am I satisfied?
Get rid of this low feeling with soul healing
Get rid of this low feeling with soul healing
Convince me it’s alright
That loneliness will subside
My hands tied, surrendered
To all these storms that I’ve weathered
Are you listening? Whatever
Why is this taking forever
Heal it quick, I don’t care
Just fix me now
Hey you, could you analyze
What did you recognize?
Yeah…
Hey you, could you analyze my state of mind, my state of mind
What did you recognize? What did you find? What did you find?
Better days I’ve fantasized if I’m satisfied, am I satisfied?
Get rid of this low feeling with soul healing
Get rid of this low feeling with soul healing
