Greetings and salutations friends. I haven’t written anything for a while now and as such I th0ught it would be appropriate to produce something of some interest, but I guess that’s up to you to decide…
Life has been pretty run-of-the-mill heinous lately, what with the balance of school, work, family and a complex social duty, but it hasn’t been disappointing by any means. What to write about… well I think that right now one thing that is important to me is my future, and what I’m doing now that is affecting that future. For instance my year eleven exams begin in some 12 hours, and as such I should be applying myself to some relevant quotes and points form Shakespeare’s “Anthony and Cleopatra”, and so it is somewhat of a contradiction that I am writing about my future when I am presently compromising it, but who gives a fuck about year eleven anyway. I mean, this article may well resonate with “Giving a Shit”, but that is just an indicator of what I’m contemplating I guess (tags?).
Anyway back to the issue; our future is the only thing we really possess. When you actually sit back and think about it, there is little that is certain in life other than the passing of time and our interactions with it. So it is fundamental to everyone that we invest something in our only real asset. For the future is more enigmatic than life itself, despite popular belief. This is because it can take any number of paths, most predictable, but similarly, it is the minor differences in day to day life that really stand out and influence our somewhat railroad lives. For example, if you were interested in fostering a healthier school life and thus a brighter future, you might stay home on your Friday night, studying Chemistry and Newton’s Law’s of Motion. But if you have different values and a different outlook, you would conduct yourself in a different manner of course, practicing chemistry and the law’s of attraction instead.
So its important to remember that every decision you make has an effect on the path your life will follow, and I apologise to my English classmates who are probably so sick of “Journeys” and the preachings of Robert Frost, but I guess it made an impression on me and so I’m trying to share that around. “The hardest thing to do is to start”, words of wisdom from my year 8 math teacher, and as I found out, some of the wisest words I have heeded. For everyone tries things out, if only once, but then to ‘start’ on your own, to take an initiative to your life and try to improve it by any measure of experience or discord, one must have a certain quality of persistence and determination to follow something through. And thus starting something, continuing something, partaking in something, and the act of living day in, day out possesses ramifications on your future that may be unfathomable at the time, but perhaps in retrospect will be more clear to the eye…
The point of this little piece is to accentuate the importance of everyday life and how it can shape your whole entire fucking life. From the smallest thoughts and movements, one can instigate something that changes their life forever,
Peace out.
