So about a week ago I had a major change of course. My plans for the upcoming year could not be followed through with, and I had to re-navigate what I was going to do. I was very down-and-out at first, but after a talk with my brother, and a weekend where I didn't have to think about it, I believe I have a better perspective on what I will be doing with my next year of life.
Instead of worrying about growing up and getting a job and going to school, I'm going to live in the moment. I try to live by this philosophy, but for the next 12 months I'm really going to embrace it. My new-year's resolution starts now. I don't want to set myself up for failure in thinking this, but I would like to start making things happen. I want to be realistic about my goals, but I want to dream big. Almost all the cliche's come into play right now, and I want to make them work. I may not have a concrete plan just yet, but I think I'm going to start figuring this stuff out. I will get to a point where these thoughts will become actions that I can carry through. I don't want these opportunities to slip through my fingers, I don't want to be bogged down by real-world responsibilities just yet.
Plan A fell through, but Plan B is being formed and put into play.
I'm feeling optimistic about this, but I need to check myself. I don't want to be so absorbed with the idea that I fall back to my roots and end up disappointing myself by not carrying through.
My first step will be to have a steady form of documentation. Be it this blog, or a personal journal, maybe I can photograph my day-to-day ventures. This is the age of communication, why not realize that and use it to my advantage?
Step 1 of Plan B:
Find a notebook
I left my notebook at my brothers house recently, but it was almost full anyways. This is actually one of my favorite times of year because every school or office supply you could possibly think of is at a ridiculously low price. Staples here I come!
Much Love,
L
