Day One Hundred and Seventy-Eight:  Moving On…

Is it just me or does everyone reach that point of wanting to move on at different times than others?  I mean, no one becomes “ready” all at the same time, which is really unfortunate for the cohesiveness of the whole process.  Some people still care, unrequited love, all kinds of misread signals or over-thinking to result in sometimes heartbreak, sometimes triumph, depending on if it is romantic or not.  Sometimes people are ready to move past their peers academically, which is less awkward but no less frustrating.  All in all moving on in general is hard to do “right.”

So how do we?  Or is there a “right” way?  Or do we all just carry ourselves through this world with just enough oomf to get us to the goals and points we need?  Is it so important to necessarily move on all at the same time?  No, it isn’t important, and almost better to do it at your own pace.

I am so proud of my little sister who graduated this evening from highscool, and she has chosen to take a year before entering university which I think is a really mature decision.  She now has tie to make some money and actually think through things, instead of jumping into something she may not like.   I love you, Mid, and couldn’t be more proud on a night like this.

To everyone I challenge you to challenge yourself.  Maybe step out of your comfort zone, do something different and live a little.  I always say that life is fleeting, but I sometimes do not take my own advice.  I pledge to live a little this weekend, eat French fries and sleep all day.  Maybe hand in a paper an hour before it is due.  How else will I feel adrenaline pumping through my veins? 

That was a really sad attempt to mimic sarcasm within prose, I apologise.  But seriously I am going to challenge myself in the near future as if I am not today, and I hope you all do too.  It is definitely worth it in the long run in my opinion.
