We all struggle to find answers. We all struggle to glean meaning from the seemingly random, unconnected events that evolve in our days and often change our lives forever. This day one year ago looked different in every way from the landscape that spreads before us today. As such, questions, doubts, fear can so easily crop up and tint the view.
The trick is to remember that optimism, excitement, anticipation need to have an equal - if not a greater - footing in our outlooks. All fear and consternation makes for is a bleak sort of attempt at life.
I've been thinking a lot about what I want this blog to be; where I should be taking it. In part, I don't know how to answer this question because I don't really know in what direction I want to be taking life in general. I feel I'm on the precipice of a lot of changes, a lot of transitions that are both being forced on me, and that I'm incurring myself. Partly I think this state of mind is called "being twenty-something," however lately it's been more than that. The goals and aspirations I once set before me are now out of reach, and so I find it's time to find a new focus. What that focus is and where it will lead me are still forthcoming. So, I hope that whomever reads this blog will be patient as I discern the path best suited to my own twenty-something universe.
In the meantime, check out this project:
Six Sentences
Sometimes confining a story to six sentences can spark longer-form inspiration. Sometimes, six sentences is all you need.
