This picture has nothing to do with the post, aside from me looking happy in it, which does have something to do with the post. And besides, who can resist that grumpy dog face?
You're probably thinking "When will they end!" I'm on a bit of a run with my self-discovery themed blog posts--I'm the first to admit it. Cut me some slack, I'm at a cross-road in my life and I'm making the most of it with no shame!
I was listening to Bastille's album Bad Blood and in their song "Weight of Living Part II" there is a line that struck me:
"Do you like the person you've become?"
Whenever I hear this sentiment, stated with different words and inspiring different feelings in people, it always causes a mental pause within me. Do I like the person I've become? It's a good question. It's a loaded question, that's for sure. To answer this questions, I have to start itemizing my life.
Do I like everything I'm doing right now? That's an easy one. NOPE! There are tons of things I do that I hate. The biggest thing? Laziness. It is as if it is written in my DNA. Sometime's I can't bring myself to get up in the morning. I just lay there for half an hour, awake and thinking of nothing. And then there's homework. Sometimes I fudge the work because I'm too lazy to do it. I know this is normal and oh so common, but that doesn't mean I like it.
With that said, there are lots of things I'm doing that I love. I'm writing more, and that's always a plus (since I've spent so much money studying and crafting the darn skill). In addition to the creative writing is the blogging, which is proving very therapeutic, I must say. I'm also taking an active role in my future; I'm job searching and writing resumes and applying for internships.
I honestly don't think I'm at the point in my life where I can say that I like the person I've become, and that's because I'm still becoming it. I'm still growing and changing and experiencing new things that influence me every day. I'm a drastically different person today in comparison to just one year ago. And the year before that I was even more different. I'm not sure that I'll ever reach the point where I can say "I'm happy with the person I've become." So, I'll settle with acknowledging that I'm doing pretty good, and that's good enough for now.
