I don’t even know how to start this. Jeez. What a fabulous beginning.
Yesterday, I began my 45th year on the planet, this lifetime at least. It’s all so confusing and messed-up still yet I can’t help but think there’s good stuff to be had yet. Hell, there’s good stuff that I’m “having” right now. Too bad we humans often don’t see the woods for the trees though.
I’m leaving my very well remunerated and extremely secure job to screw-off back to school. I had some crazy idea that it was something I ought to do so, I went through all of the necessary testing and application processes, and voila, was accepted to law school. Funny, but I can’t shake the feeling I started a ball rolling that I’m not sure I won’t regret.
I guess that’s the thing with life and choosing not to remain comfortable. If you choose the uncertain, there’s uncertainty waiting for you around every corner. There’s the chance that you’re not going to be comfortable. You did afterall choose the uncertain road.
I have to keep reminding myself that the reason I’ve chosen this unsure road is because I wasn’t all that comfortable being comfortable. Still, I can’t help but wonder if the decision wasn’t just another symptom of a hyper speed cortex that can’t seem to slow itself down, no matter how comfortable life is.
I’m really great at getting things going but can’t say for sure whether I’m all that great at staying the distance.
Guess we’ll have to start down this next road the simplest way. One foot at a time.
