No one is trying to corner you or hold you to account for your activities, or lack of them. The expectations are only those you gave us to believe were your own, of who you wanna be and achieve. If you think that's changed......
You keep saying your just a normal kid..... Then review thos expectations. Yeah, you are a normal kid, but one with a talent that most normal kids don't have......Its for you to believe.

Feeling
Its all in the mind. Its all about feeling. Like happiness that manifests the state of mind. The burden of being is the lack of feeling and that impacts the quality of life.

Awareness
At a basic level, awareness comes from triggered thought, in hindsight. That trigger, whatever it is, usually gives one new insight to what is, which may modify ones response to one's environment. This awareness can redefine one's world view or just help in coping or understanding one's life. That's up to individual capability and motivation. But awareness makes one aware of one's capability.

Straight talk
Some straight talk. The hope that DU would basically be a platform for your music seems to be fading. Amateur theater is at best personality development and resume building. So academics has to be the primary focus. Whenever the subject comes up, you get cheesed and go into a shell. I think you haven't created an interest for the subject yet. No real understanding can come without that. Studying because you have to gets average results. Own Pol. Sc.. You don't have a choice.
Study strategy must help you to critique, not just cram knowledge. Focus, and you'll find time for fun too. Focus can be multi-pronged BUT prioritised. What do you wanna be doing 2 years from now. Is your present activity cycle gonna get you there. We breathe down your neck only to focus your choices.
Generation gaps are and will be a constant. Both sides feel the other doesn't get it. Kids want space. Parents performance. The twain meet only through achievement. No better way to get space.

For Bay-2
The choices you make in whatever you do are what life and memories are made of. My only expectation is that you never have to look back at your life with regret.

Surfacing
Me - Just coming out of a low with the residue of feeling useless. Been there before. To the same hollow self. Who and What am I really?. Crazy question after 50 years of life. Clueless.
Arun - What I have realised is that the search for self is useless, so I have stopped searching. Just be and bask in that being. No point trying to find ones worth because, the parameters of worthiness are again made by society, which in any case is itself worthless. Just be, don't try to be!
Of late I've realised a few things and that has made my life simpler. The art of unlearning.
Me - If I just be, I find I'm a zombie like cipher. Uncaring, unfeeling. Mind, intellect, learning and memory absconding. A messed up life and no desires. Tough to bask in that.
Tell me more...
Arun - 1. Become an ordinary person.
More follows. Just chew on these statements without necessarily commenting on them. To read it is not the same as realising it. Its an altogether different dimension!
Me - I am the consequence of how my genes responded to life's experiential learning. I became bipolar. I wish I could become an ordinary person. With normal capabilities. Confident that all that is required of me is to be good and do good, and have the faculty to discern that. Just be a normal ordinary guy with caring, feeling, intellect and reason. Worth is a search for those faculties that my brain chems and genes seem to have put in doubt. What I wrote about my being are real tangible issues. Its weird and tough for a ordinary person to grasp.
That wasn't a response to the message in what you wrote. That was helplessness. That words, even visuals and other stimuli are recognised, but there's no thought response. Just a blank mind.
Arun - What ultimately matters is....what is and not what it is a consequence of. You are lucky in a sense that you don't have to worry about your future. You only have to stop looking at the past. You can afford to be in the present without bothering about any liability whatsoever. Don't try to analyse whether and why you are bipolar or unipolar. Live this moment.

Wassup!
Arun - Life is what is happening! While we are busy making other plans - Beatles
Me - The world is the same in a relative way, but you're older. Shorter of breath, one day closer to death.
Yet you run and you run to catch up with the sun....but its sinking...... - Floyd
