I was recently told the best advice I’d heard as of late-- don’t spend this year of your life worrying about the next.

it’s a hard concept to grasp. as humans, it’s difficult to not feel like you’re neglecting your future if you become complacent in your current situation. that is a huge flaw in humanity. there is nothing wrong with living for now, as long as you’re living with purpose and the reason you’re okay to just, be, is because you fully trust that God will provide and that He has a plan for our lives.

I am working on that, on living fully in the moment. for many reasons, one in particular being my inability to remember anything, particularly details (my add and early alzheimer’s are hugely responsible for this.) but more-so because here I am, a senior in college, living the dream, without too many worries, and I need to take better advantage of this. now.

I have a few plans forming in the back of my mind. lately west is on my horizon. telluride, boulder, jackson hole, someplace like that. clearly I can’t get away from the idea of one last kid summer. I’ve subscribed to travel and leisure, made a matchbox shrine (we had to for class) with my intention being traveling, and have been doing random research on places I’d like to go. and if out west doesn’t work out, I’d love to sail around the west indies if anyone has a boat.
