its proven that stress can cause your body to react physically. i believe thats what im going thru right now. i mean, there really isnt any other reason. either way, i need to feel better immediately!
so, i meant to post this the other night after this happened...but i didnt so i'll do it now.
i got off work wednesday, was a bit confused, and decided to swing by world of beer. got my glass of "Impeachment", attempted to let off a little steam. josh was working and was talking to an older gentleman about the beer he had just given me. it was clear that this man was feeling a bit right, but he seemed like a cool guy. we began to converse, i told him how josh is my roommate, talked about music, blah blah blah. then, he asked me what i wanted to do with my life. i let him know that i was a bit conflicted, not sure whether to do what im "supposed" to do or to do what i love. he gave me some advice that i'll probably keep with me for a long time. he told me how he was a successful businessman, made good money, and was completely unhappy with what he was doing. hes currently going back to school for his passion (music) at the age of...kinda old. he said, "do what makes you happy. forget about the risks, forget what people say you should do, forget the safe route. if you're happy with what you do, thats all that matters." that really meant a lot to me, coming from someone who was successful doing what he was "supposed" to do.
so, i got to thinking. what do i really want? whats gonna make me completely happy? i think my answer is in winterpark, fl. within the next 2-3 years, i could possibly relocate to winterpark, fl, to do whats gonna make me happiest. i can assure you im gonna be struggling down there for a while, but i think it'll serve me best in the longrun.
its become an epidemic, in my opinion. people do whats confortable, whats safe. i cant find satisfaction in that, personally. ive decided to take my risks and let things happen the way they happen. dont get me wrong, im not completely delusional, i understand we all have to sacrifice some things in order to survive, but i feel you have to use that to get to where you ultimately want to be. i know exactly what i want. do you?
food for thought
...you're welcome
