untitled enlightenment.


the other evening, justin & i were on a walk at betty virginia park,
& these words found their way out of my mouth:

i don't like being mortal.

there are so many things i want to do in my life: so many careers i want to pursue -
so many activities i want to be involved in - so many books i want to read.
and often the sensation creeps up on me that i just don't have enough time on earth to do it all.

our walk was a long, satisfying one, as was our talk.

and as much as i'd love to say it was decided that we'd pursue all of our different dreams,
we were more realistic in that moment.

we knew the best route was to pick one thing & put everything into it.

and i'm happy to say, that is exactly what i'm doing.

I always get overwhelmed thinking about how many books there are out there with so little time to read them all!

I sometimes feel this way too. Sometimes when I think about all the things I have to do, it makes me not want to do anything, which means nothing gets done, and life isn't lived! Thanks for the reminder

the back and forth.

Justin had to turn on the air conditioner again last night.  It's October 26 - doesn't that mean the heater can stay on? Doesn't...
