Dilemmas up the yin yang...

Living up to the name 'Rant with passion. Think with reason'. It's 2:30 am and instead of studying or sleeping, I am blogging because I am frustrated. Why am I frustrated you ask? Well if you were me, I guess you'd know, wouldn't you?

I used to think that I'm a really good problem solver... not with respect to math, but I like to think I give good advice when people have issues. This past year however, I have been faced with too many situations that I do not feel comfortable encountering. Due to confidentiality and privacy reasons, they will not be discussed further.

You don't want to offend people, but you don't want to lie to your family.
You have to be fair to friends and strangers (you have to be impartial and objective).
You have to do the right thing, not necessarily do things right.
Your EQ has to be high (as well as IQ) so that you're aware of how people are feeling.
You might make decisions that will leave no one satisfied.

There are some situations I don't want to touch with a 10 foot pole. I'm human and I have my limitations. There is only one of me and 24 hours in a day. I can't study, do extracurriculars, do volunteer work, AS WELL AS deal with all these other issues. I really wanted to move away from 'ranting online', but as no one is awake and I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing me complain, this is the only way for me to keep the hair on my head.

I am really contemplating whether I should live away from home next year. I mean, I save time living downtown, but that time goes towards dealing with other issues. I don't think I'll have a mental breakdown from these obstacles, but it really tests my patience. There's a side of me that's growing.. it's called 'evil Janet'. It wants to tell people to 'screw off' and reply in a snarky manner that 'it's not my problem.' I really hope that this side of me doesn't blow out of proportion. I really think it's the temporary frustration that I'm feeling right now.
