Hello. Today is Sunday, 1PM and I am still in bed. I really need to cut back on the alcohol a little bit. Anyhow, right now, I need to motivate myself to get out of bed, but my laptop is telling me that I should stay. So let's talk briefly about life. Just you and I. I could ask a cliché question such as "What is the purpose of life?" but I won't. Instead, I'm going to ask why we do the things we do to make ourselves feel happy, complete, etc. What motivates us to pursue the things that we pursue? Whether it is the small victories in life such as cleaning your room or finding a good parking spot at school, they make us feel good about ourselves. It gives us a sense of accomplishment; a feeling that we tend to take for granted. How about the big victories in life? Sometimes when people tell you to take things one step at a time, we tend to (or at least I do) take that a little too literally. Sometimes looking at the big picture is necessary to find what would truly satisfy yourself. Oftentimes with these big victories, the risk is large, and success is not guaranteed. Sometimes we need to take that leap of faith. For each of us, every challenge carries different weight. That dream job of yours is probably not the same as your friends'. What I'm getting at is that whether it is happiness or complacency we vie to attain, why would we just sit and dream about it when we could be working towards that goal? Dreams are only dreams until you make them a reality. Look at both the big and little pictures and don't forget about them.
Song of the dayyyy.

sometimes
Sometimes I just feel like I'm going crazy. I've been wanting to be out. I've been wanting to be distracted. On days that I have my distractions, I feel great. I feel alive. On days that I am at home doing nothing, I feel an extremely strong urge to get out. Perhaps the last few weeks have marked the end of my long introverted phase. It's time to get out.
