hey fall. hey cold weather. hey endless and obnoxious facebook statuses covering my news feed about fall and warm things and hot tea and michael bublé.
all i really have to say is this:
over the past two months, i've written about three unpublished blog posts and crafted about a thousand other stories that i'd love to tell, however i read this tonight and really just wanted an excuse to blog about it..
"That is why we need to travel. If we don't offer ourselves to the unknown, our senses dull.
Our world becomes small and we lose our sense of wonder. Our eyes don't lift to the horizon;
our ears don't hear the sounds around us. The edge of off our experience, and we
pass our days in a routine that is both comfortable and limiting. We wake up one day
and find that we have lost our dreams in order to protect our days" Kent Nerburn
pretty much the only thing my conversations have consisted of over the past few weeks have been dreams, creativity, and time. i am now in this big girl world, quickly realizing and desperately searching for a tangible way to sustain this lifestyle i desire--one of creativity, adventure, and of deep love.
so far during my short time as a working woman, i've reached a few conclusions. things are hard. life is hard. i mean, it doesn't have to be...but it becomes challenging the moment you decide to pursue your dreams. dreams don't just come easy, though i'd like to believe that they're well worth the challenge.
hm. and time. i have this funny time frame in my mind that my life is really only good for the next five years. i know, i know. i'm only 22. i have my whole life ahead of me. la la la la. i've heard it. trust me. and it's all true... "my life isn't over it's just beginning.." i know. i hear you. but i've got to find that out for myself.
ohhhh but time. it's so funny. and it's all just bittersweet. the funny thing about time is that you get out of it whatever you put into it.
and for me, i'm spending my time being fully committed to the now. but dreaming all the same.
wait. what?
i don't know if this is a fully completed thought yet. i'm going to stop.
i really just wanted an excuse to publish that quote and that photo. and i should have stopped there and let it stay elusive, kind of indie, and beautiful. i probably could have done without my 250ish words worth of nonsense.
but, that would just be too good, wouldn't it?
anyway. shalom in the home, world.
happy october.
