- Theodore Roosevelt
I feel like, for the past few weeks, I've been doing nothing when it comes to my life after this year.
I've dabbled with one possibility, and I've toyed with another. I've dipped my toe in the water of whatever the hell it is we dip our toes into when we're trying not to piss anybody off.
This isn't going to be a long post. Just wanted to vent some general feelings about what I've been wrestling with. I won't go into specifics, so thats going to make it very confusing for anyone reading this.
If it's any consolation, I suspect it will be just as confusing to the author.
But the time has come for me to make a choice about where my life takes me when the calendar turns over from 2013 to 2014. And, sad as it is to consider, that decision will ultimately affect what happens to me well beyond that. It's strange, having to make a decision that doesn't come into effect for months, and basing that decision on what may come more months after that. Long term planning. People can call it whatever they want, but I call it a bitch.
The last six or seven weeks have been a blur. Fast, fun, friends ... I only just got here! Is it so wrong to want to delay making any kind of decision about when it will end and just enjoy these moments? Why does the decision need to happen now? Alas, the brutal honesty of adulthood: we can only put off the rest of our lives for so long.
I do not plan to let today's thoughts diminish what I've done so far, or interrupt what I want to do going forward. This remains a wonderful adventure and one that I intend on continuing to experience and enjoy to the fullest.
In that vein, I'm hoping to get out of the country again this coming weekend. As always, pictures to follow.
