Sweet.

So, it would seem I’ve confirmed that I have 2 people reading this. Sweet. So then a shoutout to my fanbase!

Anyways, yea, cutting to the chase. In my walk through life, and I believe everyone’s, there are always different challenges people go through. And currently, I’ve been wondering about my life direction. Where am I going, what do I wanna do, and how do I get there? If you’ve been reading, you know what I wanna do. And as far as I can tell, that’s where I’m going, so the question is, how do I get there? I’m a junior in High School, gonna be graduating right when I turn 17, so that leaves me in a tight spot, agewise. Plus the odds of anyone making a successful living in either writing or music, is around 100 to 1 of those who attempt. So, of course, I keep a plan B in my mind. It’s looking like no matter what I do, I’m going to college, but once I get out, am I just gonna find some lousy desk job for the rest of my life, or go somewhere? I know that college will change me, and I don’t know who I’ll be on the otherside, or if that person can make it. But enough of that. My real ponderence tonight centers around this quote.

‎Men, for the sake of getting a living, forget to live. -Margaret Fuller

I’d really like to live. And I’d really like to get a living. As I’m sure most teens in this country do. But the thing is, Living is not any easy thing to do. It just kinda happens. Whereas getting a living, while also not an easy thing to do in this economy, is almost guaranteed if you try thanks to despite its’ faults the greatest country in the world. It all comes down to a choice. Are you gonna follow your heart, and set yourself up for a possibly extreme fall, or are you gonna keep on trudging, and take the easy way out? After talking to several people the general consensus seems to be that the best plan of action, in finding life direction is evenly divided between those who would rather jump than build a bridge, but are still gonna take the sure path, and those who would rather jump than build a bridge, and are gonna jump, and pray for the best. There’s not really much to talk about on that subject, but yet it’s one that can be pondered on for hours. I know this because I have. Quite possible one of the top 5 greatest decisions I, and anyone else will make.

As for me, I’m going to pray long and hard for some idea of what to do. Because God, I feel that I could be so very useful to you, but I just need a little boost to get there. Please prepare me, ’cause I’m not ready. And then please send me, ’cause I’m willing.
