Safe journey

Mar 18, 2004 21:46

So I take the bus to school everyday.
1 hr per trip, 2 hrs per day, 10 hrs per week, 40 hrs per month, and 160 hrs per term. That's about 7 days I spend on the bus for every 4 months of school.
I see the same streets, same stores, same restraurants and sometimes the same people everyday for 50 minutes, yet I never once stopped at a bus stop other then the one that will lead me home.
My friend on the other hand, decided that seeing the same restraurant 5 days a week is enticing enough for her to go visit the place and fill her stomach.

My problem here is that I question my way of life. My friend is able to be spontaneous and get out of her routine of life and make it interesting while I follow a dull, predictable lifestyle that's eventually going to make me a grouchy old lady.

I am so used to routines because it is safe. There would be no unpredictable turns of events that would throw me off. Being able to have confidence in the 'safety' of my future gives me assurance.. but I know, one day, I will become so safe that there would be no life in me, no spontanteity, no freedom, .. no fun.

Yet, it is so hard to break that shell.

What is one to do?

Edit:


Kitty-Noodle Soup! Yum, yum. Tastes great, and
perfect for that nagging cold. Just be sure not
to cook too long or you'll get all soggy.

What kind of edible kitty are you?
