Day Twenty
One: Those crazy messed up things that
you do
I wish I
had done ballet when I was little. I am
excited to give this horse-riding thing a shot, because it seems like a really
cool thing to do. It’s going to hurt my
butt, and cost some money, but I have this philosophy about experiencing things
first hand instead of just watching them happen. I want to learn to ride a horse, and
eventually ride one out on a large open countryside, through forests, and all
kinds of variations that wil only expand my love of nature, being outside, and
the fact that I love the sound of horse’s hooves.
My
favourite kinds of horses are the ones with the very large feet that pull the
carriages in the Christmas parades in small towns, I can’t quite remember what
they’re called but their feet are huge and they seem so tame. Are you allowed to ride those? I’ve always fantasized about living on a farm
and having access to horses and all kinds of other animals, but I wouldn’t be
able to do all of the work required. I
think this horse-back riding endeavour is just another way for me to outlet the
fact that I crave adventure, in any new and challenging shape or form.
Which
reminds me that I am open to everything now.
I’m not going to say no to things, which was my main philosophy whilst
abroad, but why stop when I leave the country?
Yes, I want to try hot yoga. Yes,
I want to use hotwire.com and stay in a random hotel in a random city. Yes, I just, yes. Horse-back riding just begins the adventures
I have planned for this summer.
Although I
plan these adventures for the summer as if I’ll have any more time than I do
right now. Right now my days are full of
classes and practicals and fitness classes, and my evenings are full of
readings and work. In the summer it will
be the opposite hopefully, which unfortunately leaves weekends for such
things. My other goal is by the time I’m
finished post-secondary education (potential graduate school included) to
possibly (which means this is an obvious work in progress) get my yoga teaching
license. I’ve only started my practise
two years ago, and given my flexibility isn’t fabulous and my balance is
terrible, but yoga is one of those things that I want to get. I want to understand the spirituality/focuses
behind it. I dig the meditation, man, and I want to learn more.
I’m so
determined, is what the thesis of this post would be. I am determined to take my own life by the
reigns (ta-ha) and enjoy it. I want to
enjoy life, would be my secondary thesis, because there’s nothing worse than
hating living. Even with the classes I’m
doing this term I am trying my best to enjoy them for what they are.
Once they become a chore they become less enjoyable and ultimately…useless. I learn more from adventures, I’d rather make
my entire life one big badass adventure than spend my everyday wishing there
was something more.
So I’m
living life today
Because life
is fleeting, leaving,
Under each
and every footstep
Lays one
minute passing
In such a
passive way,
I want to
leave in my wake,
a brighter
tomorrow than today.
