There's been a lot on my mind recently. With the pressures of school, work, relationships, and social activities I've been all but losing it. I know I need to just relax, that everything will fall into place if I just focus on what I need to do now and not worry so much. One of the biggest things that was bothering me was the fact that I spent so much time at work and had so much homework besides that I never felt like I had any time for my own work... projects that are dying to get done, that just want to be realized before they are totally miscarried or forgotten. Well, I talked about this with someone who is much smarter, wiser, and older than I am and after I got my ears pinned back for being so easily discouraged he made me realize that I just have to learn to set aside the time I need to work on my own thing and keep me sane. So today, since I had nothing else I needed to do right away, I spent all day working on something of my own. I feel remarkably good about it, despite the fact that there's still homework tugging at my sleeve saying "Don't forget about me!" It's okay, homework, I still have two more days to pay attention to you. So the point of this little rant was just that I have decided to put some time aside each week to just work on my own thing. I wonder how long I can keep up with it?
