Think Twice Before Leaping, and Do It at the Right Time

My morality is driven by something easily said but often difficult to follow, it's having to "think before I act".  As an only child, my sheltered upbringing was heavily influenced by Filipino culture and by Catholic religion. Like most children, I have learned to distinguish both right and wrong and to also learn to consider the aftermath after every decision.  Growing up under the watchful eye of my family, I was disciplined to conform to my family's standards and must address my elders with honorifics, because any failure to comply would risk punishment. Also, in church I was taught of the scriptures and the ten commandments in order to recognize what good I can perform just as the Bible says, or else face the the punishment of the afterlife. I was taught this because of my intuitive behavior, where I would work hard to achieve my objectives or do things without thinking. I would react in a way that may seem appalling to others, therefore I would change into a different state that they are more comfortable around with (this may explain why I do a lot of acting). This morality is similar to how a person would change from being energetic around his peers to being professional around superiors because there is a right time and place to for everything. For example some situations may require for my cheerful and humorous self, and some situations may call for my seriousness.

What motivates me is the idea of having my crowd feel comfortable in my presence because I would like to live my life peacefully without the teenage drama that might hinder me from my ambitions and school work. It's not that I fear the "drama", don't get me wrong because I enjoy living life to the fullest and I encounter problems almost everyday. I am not afraid to face dilemmas for I am capable of solving them calmly and still remain my integrity. What makes me try avoid problems is because of a pet peeve of wasting valuable time. I am free spirited, I like to do things that I want to do, but as a student I have responsibilities of balancing basic school work and extracurricular activities. I want to direct my time and energy towards something that is more useful and beneficial for me, such as my ambition to go to a good university. My goals require my hard work, but as a teenager I would like to have some sort of "life" just without the explicit drama. When I have to make a decision, or  when i face a dilemma, I try to carefully think about those who are involved and I make an effort so that the result is beneficial or compromising. There are moments when I might break rules I was given for curious reasons or because its the only solution, but I still consider the feelings of others and face the consequence fearlessly.  I like having to quickly and successfully solve problems, but if I the problem calls for my deep articulation then I would respond positively towards it and finish what I started. I am  not a pushover; I can be loyal and obedient, but I am only like that to those, who I think, deserve it because sometimes I couldn't care less for the opinions of those who hold annoyance or detestation towards me (unless a situation calls for me to direct my attention towards them). It may seem like a selfish motivation, but I find that fair, and besides I find joy in helping others. My morality reflects the feelings of others motivated by my own reasons of wanting live a less troublesome life.

I am Now Very Starstrucked

Okay, (one of )my favorite bloggers just  emailed me back so my inner self is doing cartwheels (something I can't do in my narrow bedroom) while singing Broadway songs.  I'm suffering a joyous headache from my overactive brain. Thanks you, Arabelle Sicardi for the advice :)

I scream in excitement, and I'm good *faints from happiness*  .
