Just finished my first homework assignment of the new semester! Philosophy and the Human Being...definitely not the science pre-labs I'm used to...not that I'm complaining, it took far less time than what I'm used to. I feel oddly optimistic about this semester, which is nice. Enough about my mundane school-life, I just wanted to write about optimism.
All last year, I did nothing but stress. Stress about my homework and my grades, my complete lack of a social life, the constant time crunch, the anxiety of being kept in the same place(which makes me a little crazy), combined with not having any idea what I want to do with my life after I graduate college. I was worn out after just a few weeks, caught pneumonia, missed class which created more stress. I was tired and almost always upset. I was NOT myself.
Somewhere along the way I lost track of the happy-go-lucky youngster who kept faith in herself and faith in the world that things would be okay.
O.K. now enough about my mundane school-life.
What everyone should do is keep themselves thrilled. Find something everyday that makes you wonder, something beyond your physical self. I had a dream where someone told me that I looked at the moon like I wanted to hold it in my hands to make sure it would not break. I feel like that is how I should keep my optimism, somewhere I can always see it.
The world isn't black and white but I think that's a good thing. Isn't gray far less intimidating anyways?
