Flippity Flippity Flip

I am forced to think at times...do i treat my life too flippantly. I mean I see people all around me planning their lives so meticulously: what stream to pursue after HSC, which job to pick after graduation/post-graduation, which guy to date, where to live, what to eat for dinner, WHAT MOVIE TO WATCH!! (seriously!), how to plan a wedding. Just thinking about all this makes my head whirl. I have never ever ever EVER planned anything in my life. I am, what they call, a drifter. I have just gone along with whatever life presented at that instant. I never struggled against it, never sat back and thought "ok so what options do I have? what will the consequences of this be?" Now when I look back at all the "decisions" I made, I wonder whether I should have held back, whether I should have taken a moment to ponder and not jumped head long into whatever that life had offered. Well, I am not sure if I would be what I am if I would have waited for another opportunity to pop its head up. But then I think nah thats not my style. I mean I joined my college because i thought the college campus (which later turned out to be NOT my college campus) was pretty cool. If I feel like watching a movie, I watch whatever is playing that day. I picked up the first job that came my way. Anyways what is the point of pondering over all that. I, well almost, am always happy with whatever choices I have made. But it does irk me, at times when people think I am flippant. I am not sure why it bothers me, because collective historic data does suggest that I AM flippant. May be I want people to think that I am serious about my life and I am responsible with decision-making. But then what the heck, I will be bored to death if I have to hold myself back. I am a NOW person. If I want something, I want it NOW, this very SECOND. It gets a little annoying for people who have to deal with this quirk of mine...but alas I am who I am.
