ok, ok
GOD i'm making myself wanna yak with all these musings about dudes recently...so, fuck a bunch of that!
life is good.
i had a conversation recently about life moving so fast, and why? it was decided that we could slow things down if we make a real effort to be present, in the moment, right now, 100% of the time...it's hard when the world around you goes a mile a minute, everything's just glossed over and built for speed and not longevity or even real, true pleasure.
i've really been enjoying talking to people lately, moreso than i can remember. it is something to make a connection with someone just by slowing things down, chucking the "hi, how are you blah blah" bullshit out the window and instead asking real questions, saying what's really on your mind, getting something GOOD in return and not just a robot response. there are some people that i've known for more than a year and only recently have i really made an effort to dig in. it's good stuff.
working alot this week. manual labor outside in the sunshine, it has its ups and downs. i get to be independent for the most part, and when we all work together at the shop it's good times. creative. rewarding, calming.
i don't have enough winter clothes. i dreamt about the perfect pair of boots last night.
i don't have a single superfluous cent right now, unfortunately...but mom is coming in a month and i'll get her to take me shopping. i love mom visits. it means free meals at great restaurants, groceries, new stuff for the house, and maybe some new threads if i get real lucky. we're going to the aquarium again, and maybe up to the mountains.
i'm just living right now. i don't feel like making big decisions about the future just yet. small decisions about right now are a lot more fun, and it makes life much better than looking so far forward all the time.
cheers!
