Stuff getting real...

With graduation 5 weeks behind me, grad school a couple of months away, and adulthood staring me in the face every morning I wake up, I try to make some sense of life. Asking myself, 'what will the rest of my life be like', 'can there be immunity from rainy days and lonliness', 'does a degree and the benefits of money necessarily garauntee the 'good life'?' These are all questions I've been asking myself the past couple of days. The books I've been reading about adults trapped in the mundane routines of life has not eased these thoughts at all....(thanks a lot Toni Morrison...lol).

I decided today that I am going to try harder to step back from the picture and take it all in. I've been so used to being in the picture, or taking the picture, that I haven't always had the opportunity to just enjoy it for what it's worth. So I'm stepping back from the picture.....and I'm on this new kick to not take life so seriously...to live for today with the future in mind. Trying to figure out how I can make this life thing work out...and make sure that it counts...and most of all, that I get a chance to enjoy the pic. So I'm going to try to make the rest of these summer days count...EVERY DAY.....employed or not. Until then, be real to you, and to others, u will be real. PEACE.
