Makes this a melting pot of everything. I love culture. I love learning. I love being influenced by the diversity my direct environment encompasses. I'm not juvenile to deny that I am in fact influenced by many things I am directly and indirectly exposed to, whether it may be my family, my friends, co-workers, a stranger at the grocery store or an image I view. Our actions may define us but those actions are collections of the combination of senses absorbed and processed in our brains paired with the filter we have used to decide how we approach our lives. Did any of that sentence make sense or did I just verbally throw up and forgot to organize my idea? Regardless, I failed to finish my previous contribution titled "Transparency," only to essentially abandon it and refresh my thoughts into a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
Nevertheless, (hold on, side note. Our English language is so fascinating, how are we able to combine three separate words, never - the - less, and make that one word with the understanding that it means, we're moving on in terms of topic. We should try to make a new word up with combinations of 3+ words. I dare you, go!) I have seen several times over as of late, a simple way in theory to consistently maintain this "contribution" on a daily or at the very least weekly basis. Five things for the day or week, or bi-, tri-weekly. Sounds simple enough, however, execution is an entirely different ballgame. Considering my "rigorous," now I use the term rigorous loosely because I find some of you out there may differ in your labeling of rigorous, schedule to be quite demanding of time and limits my ability to write. Obviously, I am writing right now, a thursday evening, but it is my "night off," before I set up my weekend of work and study.
Ugh, I digress.
I am a molecule full of energy in thought. My thoughts and ideas are bouncing all over the place in my noggin. Here are the 5 for the day:
1. I'm tired. I need to sleep more. Yet, the more I sleep, the more concern I get with missing out on time to study and then the snowball keeps rolling to where I place added pressure to excelling in this schedule I've weaved for myself.
2. I cannot and will not destroy my sanity by placing unnecessary stress and pressure on myself over worrying about excelling. I put myself in this situation and schedule, I will handle it and keep calm. I need to shut up and put up. No excuse, no whining or complaining, feeling sorry for myself. Ain't nobody got time fo dat! (Yup, said just like that.)
3. Why do the toilets at schools turn out so disgustingly bad. Janitors clean it everyday, yet even when the school first opens, the restrooms look and smell horrendous. Gotta find better options on campus. Heard it was the 4th floor of the College Complex, I shall investigate.
4. Juicing sounds like a viable option to me at this point. I have been influenced and inspired to gravitate to such measures to explore the possibilities and euphoria of such a lifestyle. If nothing else, it'll be healthier and I shall quench my thirst for the curiosity of the sensation obtained from it.
5. I have a lot going on and I'm in a place where I can easily get caught up in stimulation overload, leading to retreating and shutting down, including shutting everyone out. However, a little perspective, and I'm happy. I could always be in worst situations, I could be in a much darker place, with little to no direction. I could be surrounded by disingenuous people, and the like, but I am not. I have people who love me, people who care for me, people who enjoy my company, as I do theirs. I am furthering my education and pursuing a career I appear to and believe I am made out for. Life is good, and I appreciate all of the people, things, and places that are within my eco-system.
Five alive! Do work!
