Work out an answer

Never before has it been more evident to me that I need to do something. That something is everything but it might just be nothing.

 

Ever since I was young, I never found it advantageous to force the issue on things that I really wanted. Much of that is making sure you are absolutely prepared for whatever it is your getting yourself in to. I’m making it my goal to try and transform and recreate what it means to be fully prepared.

 

 

And so in the spirit of that, I’m willing to say that I no longer have a year to figure out what I really want to do with my time and yours. Total preparation doesn’t come before choice, sometimes you need to just go off what you already know and thrive off your instinct. Not merely on impulse but more so on what you know is “the right thing”.

 

Mookie did it, I’m not sure why you can’t do the same.

 

“I just woke up but I’m still not sure

I thought it would have taken the grey to color

Can’t change what you don’t really know

But you can create what you can change

Work out an answer”

Alright, Alright

It's been some time and for a reason. Last time I checked in, Rockstar's and Pike Place was flowing through my veins and aside from that, something somewhat special changed, or happened for that matter. I am coy about this change, so maybe ask me sometime.

Bringing me to my completely unrelated point. It's this: it has become readily apparent that things just aren't as fun when they work.

I like the idea of having to slap some greece onto your faulty chains to keep plugging. A pit stop sounds good every once in a while. I like the taste of bitter, just a simple indication that the sweet is somewhere, slowly behind. But there's movement. It's coming.

However, I don't think it has to come. Static is possible and is sometimes all too real. I find it easy to hit that groove, and kick up your feet and be satisfied with GOOD.
I'll let Kanye disagree ("giving up is way harder than trying"), but take with you the strength in knowing you can fall asleep and hit the ground running 8 hours later, regardless of where you are in your battle.

Breathe on, feel the wind. Today doesn't have to be like yesterday, but yesterday can also be the power in knowing that today is better, and tomorrow, will agree.
