here we go
"without you I was broken, but I'd rather be broke down with you by my side."
What are you trying to say Jack Johnson?? haha. For the first time it sounds like he's promoting unhealthy relationship behavior.
So things have taken an interesting turn. Something I do and don't like about the human condition: happiness and love are blinding. I don't want to be tangled in euphoria because it causes amnesia and makes you forget the struggle and the pain. I need to keep that ugly side in my mind and remind myself of that low swing. Oh happy slingshot interlude, do not fool me twice. This will be an experiment in truth. Keep your ground and watch your steps. I need to do me, no matter what happens. I can't lose sight of that very important mission and journey to envision, tackle, and develop my dreams. Balance Alice, balance! It's my life and I can't lose the reigns again. I'm going to steal this and say "Live Strong." I've been running and I think that's been helping keep my mind in check. I want to be the person that wakes up early and goes to the park and jogs or goes rock climbing or plays soccer or basketball, SOMETHING because I can understand why it's so beneficial. Not just for a physical health perspective, but bringing your mind and body together back to life and the thrill of feeling completely alive in motion with living things. Computer screen, phone screens, movie screens, all of this digital, virtual preoccupation is definitely a blessing and a curse. I can't live without them and need them in a large extent of my life, but I can't let my mind and time be too consumed by them. Never ever would I survive 9-5 in front of a computer for more than a year.. That would be the death of me, not because I wouldn't be capable, but because my spirit would die and I'd forget who I am. I'm very much like a plant where I need my daily dose of the breeze, the sun, and the nourishment of surrounding nature to keep my leaves from wilting. So I'm committing myself to the goal of being able to run like I did when I was a kid unleashed in an open field--free and exhilarated.
Sidenote: A commercial just came on Pandora advertising how people should reclaim their summer days by using their vacation days to go to Vegas. And my only reaction was HELL NO. Why would you want to go to Vegas in the summertime? On your sparse vacation days? I've had my share of Vegas, but if I only have a few summer days to spare I would absolutely not spend it there in over 100 degree weather with tons of people and no friendly tree or shade in sight. F that. haha straightforward random rant time.
