Live Free or Die

First of all, I apologize to my regular readers for this prolonged absesence. I was obssesed with a job, that unfourtunatly I lost. Well, it's not like "where'd my job go?"... I was fired. But now with that behind me, and a new lease on life, I shall forge ahead. I must admit, it's hard to come back. So, if you do not like this post, I will try to get back to normal form very soon.

In the few months I've been off, I've had this nagging feeling in me. I wake up with it, go to bed with, and it hangs heavy on my shoulders throughout the day. It's this tireless feeling. As if, I'm not doing enough, not contributing enough. Not the the world persay, but instead to myself. We walk through life just trying to get by sometimes. We go to work, go to school, hang out with our group of friends and other loved ones, but at the end of the day we miss something very important. This all important thing, my curious readers (I promise not to prolong this any more but still enjoy the thought of your hunger for my thoughts enticing) is time for ourselves. I don't mean a hot bath after a long day or going shopping because of a bad day at work. What I mean is a long term cure. It's reading a book, or going out and taking artistic pictures, it's reflecting on your life while driving for miles listening to your favorite album (my personal fave), or it's taking up a hobby that both interests you and enlightens you. For me, I'd like to take up guitar. I used to play drums, and let me inform you that when I played them...I felt free. Trully, unabashadly free. It was a release, a stress valve. But not only that, I impoved myself. I did something everyday to improve. And sometimes we push that aside, to another day. Let laziness and excuses get in our way. Go ahead, fight the good fight, make today the day you make the desicion to no longer skate by but to actively change your life. Don't forget what reading can do, or learning how to cook, or learning web design. You will feel better about yourself, and maybe in the end, you'll be free. You might not understand what I mean, but I hope that one day soon...you will.
