La La La La LIFE!
Journal Entry: Mon May 26, 2008, 8:30 PM
Ah life has been interesting these days. Sometimes I really feel like change can blow you away in an instant and you suddenly find yourself not quite feeling like yourself (but in a good way!)
I write a blog for work approximately 3-4 times a week about learning and technology which I'm actually passionate about - anything that makes learning fun for people is OKAY in my book! Unfortunately, all of this blogging really sucks away any energy I have to write poems - but I'm sure Ill be writing again whenever the mood strikes.
I feel like my weekends are pretty much planned for me until July. I will be taking classes at UArts, keeping up with guitar, hopefully teaching a friend piano, going to parties, hiking, working on publishing my poems in a book, and going to Germany in the beginning of July yay!! How I love Europe...
But there's also a lot in America that I want to DO! That's what I want my new motto to be... not to bite off of Nike or anything but JUST DO IT can work pretty well sometimes. Less thinking, MORE DOING!! I felt like my a lot of my teenage years were dedicated to thinking, and I mean it's cool sometimes - as human beings thinking about life and our existence is one of our privileges that sets us apart from the other animal kingdom.
But this thinking business can be quite messy sometimes and a hindrance to actually living. I feel like if I tried to write a poem these days the only words that would come would be "BE, DO!! LIVE!!! LOVE!!!" Wahhh I sound like a cheesy motivational hallmark card.
I hope to get further into music this summer too and my new musical acquaintances will certainly help with that. And thennnnnnnn at the end of the summer I move into my new residence - yet to be announced. Somewhere in downtown Philly. I can't wait to be in a different environment with easy access to a lot more artistic places, coffee shops, museums, etc.
I've been having a lot of fun in my little area of northeast philly these days, but I want to expand. In all honesty, this area is too tied to my past and I want out. I feel like a good way to really grow is to get away from where you grew up and return to it later to see how far you've come.
I probably could have let go of home a little bit more while i was in college, but I wasn't ready. I tend to do things in my own time and I feel like letting go of things happens at a slower pace for me but it is what it is.
I've got my head up, my eyes wide open and I like what I see and I don't wanna look back or look too far ahead.
