Don't play it cool 'cause you have only yourself to lose

Not sure why I stopped using this. It wasn't like it was a daily habit, but it was a nice relief every now and again.

I guess once I deactivate one thing (Facebook), I have the urge to reactivate another (this blog).
Life was starting to get a little too busy for me when I stopped this. Now life is too serious. Correction -- I make life too serious, and take it too seriously.
And then I have this great expectation for those around me to be on the same page.
Something kind of shook me two days ago and I've been starting to re-evaluate. It was brought to my attention that I'm trying to grow up too fast. I was trying to so hard, I was forcing the concept on someone that is stuck with the Lost Boys in Neverland. Someone that was so stressed out by it, they were willing to drop everything if things didn't change. I haven't quite gotten a handle on what I will do to change the path I'm on, but at least I'm thinking about it. I know I used to be a lot more positive. I used to laugh a lot more. My life didn't revolve around when I would be able to read the next "Economist"/"Newsweek"/"Time".

I think sunshine will help my perspective. I think going home next weekend to see my family and a few friends will also help. I'll try to mend a few bridges that have begun to burn. Hopefully they aren't beyond repair.

I'm a problem solver. It's how my brain works. Put my mind to it, and it will be accomplished. This is just really poor timing - LOTS of school work to do this weekend.
