December and Things I Get Used to

A little life update: 

I tried to exercise regularly in recent weeks, but the longest attempt was 5 days cuz I realized then that my supposedly-healed sprained ankle probably won't ever function like it used to anymore. Tried to do other exercises, but the next longest attempt was 2 days. It's not that I'm being hard to myself either: my goal was to exercise 3 minutes a day (yes three freaking minutes, because when I tried exercising for 6 minutes I was tired and it felt so long I settle with 3) and I couldn't even commit to that 3 minutes for more than two days, which shows how I put my will power into exercising.

I'm entering the new year with a long list of toys I want to buy and other handsome purchase of books and plenty games that suddenly come into my life (I've had my head start buying this stuffs)

Other notes:

A lot of things changed. A lot of things around me have changed. Some of them are pretty obvious and strikes you as you see it: like a decent restaurant you frequently went to in the past that has closed for good, or the price of comic books that has changed drastically compared to when you first buy it (yeah. It always shocks me every time), or renovations in your high school school.

Some are not really obvious, like the population of cats that has changed around your neighborhood, or the books unread that already piled up the time you notice.

But more than that, I'm taken aback on how I get used to see things.

Like how I see cars moving without being weirded by it. A piece of colorful big metal moving here and there, without seeing that it's driven by a person inside it. It might as well moved by itself and I didn't think I would find it weird, seeing it moving around places so often. Or how I get used to typing things rather than writing it on a paper. I used to waste tons of paper for notes, mostly for the doodles in between. I'm glad I'm more environmental friendly now, but I can't really point where I really get used to note things down on my laptop or handphone.

I get used to a lot of things now. I get used to not running around the house when I got excited anymore. I get used to having my cat died. I get used to buy things on my own. I get used to the fact that a lot of things changed. I guess that's natural, to get used to things. If one constantly... happy or sad or amazed or surprised to the same thing over and over, I think they'd be crazy. Or dead.

One's ability to adapt is really amazing. I wonder if adapt well.
