Moving On

This year is all about enjoyment. Work hard, play hard. Spend the generous time I have doing what I've been wanting to do- dance. I dislike most other forms of exercise, so I really gotta get after my dance technique. Take some trips... visit friends before I rejoin society as a productive member with real responsibility. Save some mula, or not. Volunteer at the Tarrant Area Food Bank. Savor life here, even it isn't my ideal life. I don't want to die tomorrow having wished my life away.

This summer has been -undoubtedly- amazing. New York, Austin twice... Its just these past few weeks I've realized its back to square one. I didn't take the internship, I didn't go to Pepperdine...I chose to stay. So I'm gonna make it worthwhile. Even without Kathryn (my support in so many ways)...

I know that I pull away from relationships for some reason. Thats something else thats gonna change. I have no right to rob others of my love (j/k). Really I just need to be open to commitment/pain, rather than fearful of it.

When Sean and I graduated, a professor of his gave him a book with the following message inscribed: "Live like it matters."

Look up, look within.

Oh, and you SHOULD stop being fearful of commitment/pain (I say that from my perspective). With intentions of focusing on your perspective, the brevity of life encourages depth of connection. Pain is a part of life; I learned that from Bob Dylan.
