Eff, It's August

With absolutely no excuses or proclamation of an even psuedo-triumphant return...


March 19th. Obama Speech on race. Holy crap it has been a while. Luckily, not much has happened between then and now….right.

So, life has changed some. I am no longer in school, I have a job and I’m anxiously awaiting the end of my students loan’s six month grace period. Wahoo!

Some things are the same: I live in a beautiful place and continue to find myself, so very luckily, surrounded by people who love me and have a contagious love for life.

There are two things controlling my decision making processes at this point; relationships and travel. The latter of which is controlling my short term vocational goals. I’ve decided to put off a ‘career’ and instead pursue some adventure while I’m still young and can be relatively irresponsible.

Actual, I don’t think my decision to travel is irresponsible at all. Rather, I think it would be irresponsible to ignore my desire to travel and do what others might see as more responsible. It is my hope that in following my passions now they will continue to develop and by at their fullest potential. I fear that at some forks in our roads we choose to ignore our passions and thereby forfeit that passion for future endeavors.

Someday it will be my passion to pursue a meaningful career, to be married, to have kids. I greatly look forward to those things. But for now I need to follow my heart and my desire to see other places and experience other peoples.

It’s actually pretty hard to do what you want to. At least to do what you really want to.
