The past couple of months I have struggled. Not failed per say, but struggled with the concept that I will be about to move from this current place in my life and taking steps towards the future. I was talking with an old friend the other day and we thought back to the times of our freshman year when things and people were still fresh, and experiences were just waiting for us to grab them.
Now, I have settled into this slump. Nothing is as new and excited as it once was. I come home after practice, exhausted, and slink to my bed where I proceed to crack open a book and study, sit at my computer to write the upcoming article or paper, or watch that night's favorite t.v show. Wake up, school, practice, nighttime ritual, repeat...
Thinking about it now, sometimes I don't know if that's best. I always joke with my roomates saying "I really need to get a hobby."
I try really hard not to "give up" on my life here in Oxford but it's easy just to look ahead and not what is right in front of me. Don't forget where you're at, and why your there. LIVE in the moment, you will grow up and get there eventually.
I'm trying to find myself right now as I'm in the parallel, straddling the line between present and future. And I'm living it the best that I can.
Happy Tuesday!
