Here's to you 4 months

I realized this morning- after waking up from the most amazing Dave Matthews concert at MSG- that I have been a nomad of this great, big city for 4 months. The amount of learning I have done in those 4 months is absurd. I realize life is about learning- but when will it be my time to take control of where my life is going- when will my path be crystal clear? The current philosophy I have been following is the 'say yes' philosophy. When an opportunity comes up, if there is no good reason to say no, the answer is always yes. For example: Do you want to come to dinner? Yes, or Want to see a museum? Yes, or have you tried this food? no, but I will. Every situation I have somehow found myself in is a direct result of my 'say yes' experiment. I will continue the say yes experiment- because it got me here, but only time will tell where it take me- possibly the 'say yes' will show me where my path is.

My life takes twists and turns- the past month or so has been a little rocky- but the light at the end of the tunnel is starting to shine again. There are some ideas brewing in my mind that are going to start seeping out- slowly but surly- things are going to start happening- because as always... It's all happening. I don't want to tell yall what these 'things' are quite yet- they still need some time to evolve, but they are going to be exciting. Like every experiment in my life- I am sure this one will take a crazy and unconventional path, but thats the fun of my life.....

Here's to the next four months- who knows where I will be then. Only in my wildest dreams did I imagine myself actually working in the city, meeting the people have I met, and seeing the things I have seen. If the next four months are anything like the past 4 months, better buckle that seat belt- its going to get interesting. They never taught me this thing called life in college- for all the money spent on classes and supplies- you would think I would have any clue of how to deal with real life- this stuck in the middle feeling. The feeling of getting lost in time and the shuffle, but the desire to break out- the need to shine and show what I can do. At some point in my life, I want to teach a 'this is what you REALLY need to know' class in a college- none of these required math or history classes- a class that actually teaches life lessons and can be beneficial after graduation- to help one person make an easier transition than I am having...Maybe in the future, once I figure out the answers to what you really need to know first... Stay tuned.

Lesson learned from the past 4 months:

My life is the road less taken- learn to deal with it. I might not be conventional, I might be a little different- but its me- there's no changing that.

Peace, Love and dirt roads,

B
