I think I’m slowly descending towards the atmosphere of the real. Summer is a chance to step away from all aspects of my normal life and spend time living a life more attuned to what I want right now—writing, playing, chilling, thinking about life beyond the daily routine. These moments are extremely important—to the point where I recognize that I have to incorporate more of these experiences into my daily routine. The summer taught me what is important to me, what I need to do to better myself, and helped me uncover the direction my life needs to head in for my personal growth to continue in a positive fashion. The reason this epiphany was able to happen was because I had time to step back.
When I look around at the people in my life so few of them have that opportunity or even take the opportunity when it is presented to them. Instead they power forward, working themselves into a mechanical stupor.
Balance is achieved through a careful consideration and understanding of the world around you. Be aware of the inputs and be mindful of your outputs as that often determines how you are perceived in the world. Mindfulness is something I gained from this summer experience.
That and a 3ds.
