Free time takes an interesting turn.
I always tell people that it is not a good idea to leave me alone with my thoughts.
I have been off work for over a week now because of the holiday, and let's just say I've had a lot of thoughts.
I have been in the cliche state of getting to know myself. For so many years, I only identified myself through the means of someone else...i identified myself by how happy/unhappy this person was. This person is now gone from my life and now I'm realizing that I have a personality completely my own. I enjoy it.
I have a dry sense of humor at times. I like being close to people...friends...I love being trusted. I usually don't try really hard at having close relationships (friendships) because I'm not sure how others take me. I'm not sure what they think of me. But lately I've been trying to ignore that and make new friends of my own. It has been fun and rewarding...and I think I will keep it up.
I haven't had new friends in a long time. Not that I am unhappy with the oens I have. But After 6 1/2 years, I am still establishing my life here in Lexington, and I feel that in the previous 6 years or so, I haven't taken advantage of all there is around me.
I am forgetting about who/what I don't have and focusing on what I do have (not talking about material possessions here).
I have met so many people lately that are struggling to find their place in life. No one seems to know what to do, where to go.
Whats wrong with the here and now? I encourage people to plan somewhat for their future...get a college education, make wise decisions...but after that, life will just take you where you belong. You can't spend your whole life planning, if you do that, there is no time to actually live.
I really like where I am now. And I am looking forward to where I am going to be later,wherever that will be.
I have also taken measures to improve myself in someways. It feels good to do proactive things in your life and immediately see results.
Proactivitiy is one thing some people aren't capable of. It is one thing to try and fail, but to try, fail, and not try again is really failure.
