Change is a great thing, usually I embrace it with open arms. But this time I'm a little concerned.
It's fair to accept that others may not care about what's important to you- but that doesn't mean you should forsake those things for that reason.
On another topic- I went to an old friend's place tonight, and I realised something. We've turned out alright. Not amazing, but alright. We're pretty blessed, and we've been lucky. That said, I've done stupid things here and there- and almost ignored my own sense of morality because that was easy at the time. But the reality is, there are some things that aren't for me- drinking, and flirting with danger might be exciting but they aren't for me. I'm not sure they're for anyone, really. It's not even a matter of grappling with temptation- I'm just not tempted. Perhaps that's indicative of a lack of spontaneityor excitement(????) but I can probably think of 100 ways I'd rather spend my time.
The simpler you make life, the better it will be.
I have decided to turn off my phone, turn off facebook, and turn off the endless stream of voices around me as often as I can. It's sad that I hardly read, or write, or even read the newspaper. And, surrounded by busy, connected people makes that difficult sometimes, but it's important for my own peace of mind.
Lifestyle change, here I come!
