BioWelcome to my life. I document pretty much everything that goes on in my life. It gets sort of boring some times, i am sure. I talk about my life, my loves, my fears, my goals, crying, laughing, going out, my friends. this is my space. I can sometimes be really selfish with it. I try not to edit myself at all. I say what I think. I usually dont make entries private. It is not my intention to hurt feelings, but it can happen. I dont like to call this a blog because that makes me feel like i am writing it for someone else and most of the time I am not. It is mine; I just share it with others.. I love comments and hope for them. Nothing excites me more than seeing that I have comments.
I am a college student living in Bellingham, WA. I am really interested in all sorts of media. I love pop culture and low culture. I love to read and to write. I hope to some day teach. I dont know if I am preparing myself for life or if I am throwing it all away.
I want to experiance.
"You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing, and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life." - Krishnamurti
Here is Max Ehrmann's "Desiderata" which I turn to all the time.
In addition to "Desiderata", I think that Mary Schmich' "Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen" gives some great advice.
This below works really well to summarize how i look at life:
"There are two ways to look at life.
Actually, that's not accurate; I suppose there are thousands of ways to look at life. But I tend to dwell on two of them. The first view is that nothing stays the same and that nothing is inherently connected, and that the only driving force in anyone's life is entropy. The second is that everything pretty much stays the same (more or less) and that everything is completely connected, even if we don't realize it.
There are many mornings when I feel certain that the first perspective is irrefutably true: I wake up, I feel the inescapable oppression of the sunlight pouring through my bedroom window, and I am struck by the fact that I am alone. And that everyone is alone. And that everything I understood seven hours ago has already changed, and that I have to learn everything again.
I guess I am not a morning person.
However, that feeling always passes. In fact, it's usually completely gone before lunch. Every new minute of every new day seems to vaguely improve. And I suspect that's because the alternative view - that everything is ultimately like something else and that nothing and no one is autonomous - is probably the greater truth. The math does check out; the numbers do add up. The connections might not be hard-wired into the superstructure of the universe, but it feels like they are whenever I put money into a jukebox and everybody in the bar suddenly seems to be having the same conversation. And in that last moment before I fall asleep each night, I understand Everything. The world is one interlocked machine, throbbing and pulsing as a flawless organism.
This is why I will always hate falling asleep."
