Do Something

Recently,  I have been in a very adventurous mood. I just want to travel and try everything and anything. Unfortunately, track has made that a little difficult but I'm trying to get involved in new stuff as well. This video relates to everything I feel

I am happy and everyone else can be too.

You know sometimes life is weird. And we get caught up in things. We worry about what will come 5 days from now, 5 months from now, 5 years from now. There is always that constant wonder of "Will this all work out" and "Am I doing the right thing"? It's so easy to get mixed up; confused about what you think you want and what you think you need. Planning out every class you have to take ever in the timeline of your education is actually not something you want or need and it will make you crazy. Thinking about what is going to happen to you in 5 or 10 years is insanity. There is no way to control that or plan for it. Five year plans are actually kind of dumb. Five year guidelines or goals are better I think. You should have a direction. But there is no way that it is at all possible to have a definite, set plan and follow it and it all works out perfectly. That's just not how life works. You just have to take things one day at a time. If you are doing the best you can today and are working toward a goal of some sort, then hey things are looking pretty good. The things we need and want in life are not actually what we need or want at all. We need to feel happy and satisfied and loved. Most of the time the things you really need are right in front of you. The people around you that truly care about you. The things that you have. The things that you are able to do. Those are what matter. The beauty of life is that you have these things. These opportunities and relationships. Life is not about doing A + B + C to get to D. Life doesn't happen on a scheduled timeline that is the same for every person. Life is unique and wonderful and spontaneous. Life is about living and loving and doing your best along the way. Life is awesome.

MARRIAGE ISN'T FOR YOU

This also relates to everything Caitlin wrote about to me in my last letter. So I think this is partly from her. The timing was perfect.
