Life, Love, and the pursuit of Happiness

I haven’t had time for anything but work and school. I think it is taking a toll on my psyche. I’m unsure of a lot of things, and I’m between a rock and a hard place. All I want to do is sleep for a week. I need to recharge my batteries. My brain has stopped absorbing information and mostly rejects it. Which is unfortunate when you spend thousands on college.

Summer in a Nut Shell

  • Saw Fiona Apple and Death Cab for Cutie this Summer. They were rad.
  • Apartment almost burnt down
  • Three cats, a Love and I in a full bed at the parents = rough times.
  • Got engaged to said Love *excited!!!!!* 
  • Looking for a house.
  • School starts tomorrow, University style.
  • New job is terrifying but I think it’s going to be good.

A Step Back…

So after a small nervous break down,

and some wise words from my friends and family                                                  

I have decided not to pursue the Radiology Technician Program.                                

It took a lot of reflection,                                                                                

and I think the biggest thing I learned after a very failed semester,                        

is that you have to know when to walk away, and when to dive in.                          

This is a time in my life where I have to walk away,                                        

because like my father said, “You are going against your nature.”                                  

I am by no means a numbers person, or scientific person. The love of imaging has to be trumped by your love of patients.                                      

I think in hindsight I was approaching it from the wrong perspective.                      

Which I am okay with now.                                                                              

It’s funny how when you step back from your intense focus on one thing how the bigger picture sends you new avenues.                                                                

It’s a lot like wheel throwing, you get up close and personal with this piece but when you step back you see much more then just the pot.                                

I am going to focus on my art this summer and purchasing our first home, and start fresh in the Fall.                                                                                        

I just need to figure out the avenue I am on now. 

I do know with out a doubt, I am destined for something great. 

My brother said, ” You are an artist. BE an ARTIST.”

An Artist I will be.

Omnipresent phrase in my mind
Spoken word I’ve said one million times
Who are you to tell me it’ll always be this way
I close my eyes and I turn around
And leave it all behind

So free for the moment
Lost somewhere between the earth and the sky
So free for the moment
Lost because I wanna be lost
Don’t try to find me

Always try to breeze through my life
Repetitious things I’ve done one million times
Who are you to tell me that I’ll always be this way
I close my eyes and I turn around
And leave it all behind

What could I do
It’s not such a terrible thing
What would you do
It’s not such a terrible thing

So free for the moment
Lost somewhere between the earth and the sky
So free for the moment
Lost because I wanna be lost
So free for the moment
Lost somewhere between the earth and the sky
So free for the moment
Lost because I wanna be lost
Don’t try to find me

- I was listening to the words of this song today, and I really could relate to them. Where I am right now, in the limbo of deciding a profession. The ever pressing subject of what does one want to DO with their life bearing down on me at every turn, and the feeling of time running out on me. The funk you find yourself in by the repetitiveness of everyday life, and the rebellion against it.  

“Lost somewhere between the Earth and the Sun.”
