New Adventures-Being A Baby

 New Adventures-Being A Baby

Hi there mate, how’re you? Okay, maybe I cannot hear your answer, but I hope you are doing well. Maybe you’re asking, “Have we met before, why are you talking so closely?”. But isn’t it so boring to read blogs which start so seriously? For me, when I enter a blog and start to read and see those serious entering, I feel like Joker in The Dark Knight. I’m like, “Why so serious?”. So, this way’s better, I think. And if you have another idea, share it with me, please. Don’t forget, this blog thingy is a new adventure for me.

Let me tell you how I will talk about the topic step by step. At the beginning of everything, I have some basic rules about reading my writing. Then I’ll write down some questions to start your engines. After that, I’ll try to explain the topic and choose a case to observe. Then I’ll give you an example to think about. To finalize I just sum up the writing and let you go to your freedom.

First things first, let’s start with some basics:

-Don’t take the “adventure” word with its real meaning. I don’t mean about any extreme sports or so.

-There will be many questions and please don’t hesitate to think about those questions. Trust me, when you start to question, you won’t regret it. And extra information, you don’t have to pressure yourself to answer. I’m sure you’ll find answers later.

-Final information, all my answers are not facts but my humble opinions, so you don’t have to accept those at all. If you think differently, please let me know. It’s great to hear ideas which are different from mine.

If settled down those written up there, let’s fasten our seatbelts. This is the beginning of a new adventure.

We should admit starting new adventures or, in other words, trying new things is a part of our lives, for example starting a university, getting a job, having new responsibilities… We can count so many things like these. For each one of the beginnings, it’s normal to feel unsafe as this is human nature. But should we panic? Or worse, should we refuse to do new things? Is it possible to live in a routine from the beginning until the end of our lives?

Life is a journey which has different ways with different feelings, right? Probably if we try to think about the things which we haven’t tried yet, we can find so many different things. All of us have just started university and university life is a thing which we haven’t seen yet. Remember your first day at university, they’re so different from the ones at high school, eh? Maybe you have just begun to live in another city far from your hometown, far from your family, your high school friends etc. Maybe even far from the past…

If I should talk about my first day at campus, I was very nervous because almost everything I saw was new to me; new people, new teachers, new buildings… All of those were so different from the past and I was afraid to continue. To be honest I remember I think to quit. Sounds like a coward but was that because I was a coward? If you’re thinking something like that now, is it because you’re a chicken? Or is there something different that we couldn’t see?

Let’s think about the cause of our negative feelings, is it because we can’t do anything? Or is it about trying “new things”? I mean facing new issues which we haven’t faced before. Let’s call them “unexpected issues” as you have no idea about them.

For me, it is normal to panic when we face an unexpected issue, but this should not affect our decisions. But is it the same for you? What do you think? Let me give an example to observe from life to you. Then you can think and if you want, tell me about your ideas too.

Think about the babies. You know, babies first crawl, then start to walk, and finally begin to run and set the woods on fire, right? Whenever babies fall or damage themselves, they cry. But most of the time they don’t have visible damage. So, why do they cry? If there isn’t any noticeable damage, why do they react that much? Do they cry because of their pain, or do they cry because they face this unexpected issue? That’s another question. For me, they react by crying when they face an unexpected feeling. But sooner or later babies walk, then run, and then set the wood on fire. If you agree with me, I’ve got an idea about our negative feelings about unexpected issues. Here it is.

As we did when we were babies, we still give reactions when we face an unexpected issue. It is like an instinct you know. We don’t cry every time, but we give reactions like sadness, anger and some other stuff you can imagine. Each of us is different, that’s a fact. Because of that, we can give different reactions to different feelings. So, if we don’t feel the same as others with the same issues, we don’t have to blame ourselves too.

To sum up dear reader, maybe we’re still a baby about some cases because we do not have enough experience with those cases. But when we feel frustrated, we do not have to blame ourselves or give up. We have the same instinct, and this instinct is a need to be human. When you feel a way like this, remind yourself it has not any danger to give it a try. Remember, we all first give crawling a try, then walking, then running. And who knows, even if you fall many times, why don’t you set the wood on fire at the end?
