The sole benefit of travelling in the metro for an hour everyday is that one hour I get.. to do absolutely anything (or nothing, because it's me we're talking about). It's made me realize that this is basically the perfect opportunity to hone my observation (read:stalker) skills. Observing people so much has made me realize that most of us are terrible judges of characters (& that yellow pants with red blouses will make you go blind)
A lot of people often talk of intuition or sixth sense as something they base their decisions of very often. To be really honest, I was a skeptic. I mean.. would you seriously consider doing an action simply because of a feeling rather than cold, hard logic?
Turns out, these guys might be on to something. Since the time I've been thrown into the big bad world, independence has basically been shoved into our faces and that leaves a lot of decisions to make. Unfortunately, even the simplest of ones (like where to grab lunch from) can often prove to have a lot of consequences (like diarrhoea or bee stings).
(no, don't ask)
And each time, I swear I had a feeling about this stuff! You know, those days when you just know that your day is going to be epic or going to suck huge pig balls? Or when you decide to do something and you're already reassured that it's going to work out for you even though there's no guarantee of it?
THAT FEELING. That moment of adsfghjkl "I was just waiting for this to happen anyway!"
When I was young, I had one theory - the first thought in your mind is most often the correct one/ the one you should go with. I'm not saying that this always holds true, but if you know yourself well enough, you're correct most of the times. So now when I look at a person, I do keep in mind what my first thought about them was, because it popped up in my head for a reason. When I read something that makes me doubt the author's intention, I act upon it. When I feel like someplace is not going to provide me with the best dining experience, I don't go there (Seriously. Super bad food experiences.)
Intuition, guys. It might be more than a funny feeling in your gut afterall.
