I'm brand new to this... again, so this is somewhat of a trial run to get my feet re-soaked in online blogging. I don't expect this to be read by anyone, especially since I am using it only for the benefit of myself, but if it is feel free to enjoy. That's right I gave you permission to enjoy. In an attempt to maintain my sanity, I find that writing my crazy thoughts down somehow accomplishes that very goal. So, as for now, I only intend this to be used as my personal emotional dumpster. However, thats not to say that I won't become a Pulitzer prize journalist or author because of this. You never know. Because really, why write if you aren't going to be recognized for it? Matter of fact, why do anything unless extrinsically motivated in some way. Note the sarcasm.
Like I said, this is for my benefit, so if you have happened upon this by some strange sort of magical way, then my apologies go out to you. Perhaps I can somehow find a way to draw an audience from this. That would be quite a feat for me, considering my intentions are the complete opposite of that. I find myself a ramblin' man so onto other topics. I think if you are reading this you should get the gist by now anyway.
My being consists of a handful of important topics that make up the muscle and organs of my life. These could be viewed in the same sense that carbon is viewed in organic life. Without it they don't exist, but it's not exactly everything either. I feel that I have narrowed these down pretty well (in no particular order), but as always they are subject to change at any point in time.
1. School, school, school. This takes up by far the most time in my life, but amounts to maybe third on my effort put in. It shouldn't be this way, but until I learn how to change it, it will continue to go unchanged. Makes sense right?
As a side note, I am continually realizing that each of these things builds and supports the others in very interesting ways. It truly is amazing the depth and breadth ones life makes up, and the experiences and learning from those experiences that interweaves themselves to make a person as unique as they are.
2. Broadly, are my relationships with different people. This alone can be broken down into many possible subcategories, but I will fail miserably at spending the time to try to explain each one. This comes in a very close second on my amount of time scale but is way in front of the pack on my effort scale. I really feel like this is the single most important part of a person's life. And at the forefront of this is a personal relationship with God. I don't spend nearly enough time on that aspect of my life, and I mainly attribute that to the fact that I don't put myself into positions to remind myself to maintain it like I should. It typically comes as an afterthought to some other event in my life, if it even comes at all. But the relationships that I do focus on are the people in my life. Whether they be acquaintances, buddies, close friends, family, or my girlfriend, they all take the cake on importance in my life. Without people I would be alone, and it's no fun by yourself. Plus I'm not creative enough to come up with cool imaginary friends, so that alone shows me how much I need to have good relationships in my life.
3. God and religion could be on this by themselves, but, since I touched on that just a minute ago, I won't delve into it here. All I will say is that it's funny how I feel like I know how important God is in every aspect of life, yet I still am so inadequate at pursuing Him. It really doesn't make any sense. Maybe I'm just kidding myself when I say I know. Maybe I don't really have a clue.
4. Basketball/Exercise/Health is the last thing on my list. These things keep me feeling good and keep me happy, therefore are important.
So that's that for that.
I'm mentally exhausted. Maybe I'll pick up on this later.
