Self talk

I am a very inconsistent person. I wish I wasn't. It's not so much I can't finish anything I start, because I eventually do finish some things, not most. But mostly because I get bored with everything. I REALLY wish I didn't. My hobbies are so many I can't begin to list them here and yet I never invest that much time or money or effort or anything else into them. I'm always skipping from one thing to another.

And this blog is another one of my hobbies (I even have two, one in each language I speak with different purposes and everything) and it could not be different. I barely started and I have already taken long vacations from it.

I believe, but my mom disagrees, that I have focus. But I recognize I am not persistent. So how can I be both? I will finish anything that is expected of me, very much so, but when the second time to do something like it comes around, I already feel like walking away. It's hard to explain, but one way I found to relate to this is by saying I would like to read all books in the world and get anxious when the color in my nails stays the same for more than 1 week. Some people will use the same nail polish every single time. I would like a NEW one every single time. But I do still get them painted with routine... Go figure...

You may be judging me right now, for lack of stamina, momentum or maybe lack of drive, but I'm working on it (I take my "away-from-the-blogs" vacations but I still come back, don't I?) and that has to have some sort of persistence implicit in it. Even if it's at entry-level. This blog is also called "complicated Brazilian", not the other way around, right?

Do you get bored easily or are you super persistent? Is there something you wish you would stick to for good and bad (other than your marriage!)? What do you always plan to get back to, but never have?

Let's hear it!

    Juro que te entendo! Eu vivo inventando coisas também e queria levar algumas coisas mais a sério! Pretendo fazer isso lá na NZ: aprender fotografia de verdade, estudar mais aquarelas que eu amo tanto, fazer algum trabalho voluntário, correr! Vamos ver se vou conseguir ou abandonar na primeira semana! hahahahahaha.

    Acho que foco é muito importante nessas horas! Vamos lá! :D
