I constantly feel a need to be more but always find myself falling short. Is this something we all feel?
Lately I've been waking up and just stay laying in bed letting my mind wander. There's no longer this need to find a way to escape right away. My main forms of escape are through reading stories or simply making up some of my own.
The good thing is that I find myself exploring my inner self through the stories I either choose to read or end up writing. The heroines and life lessons I lean towards are examples of how I wish to live my life. But, as usual, I always seem to find a disconnect from seeing the picture to actually living it.
In the end E.M. Forster's quote comes to mind:
How can I know what I think until I see what I say?

One of my little side projects is to expand my English vocabulary. I look back and have regrets but realize that it won't do me any good to live in the regret and remorse. No, I must learn from it and move on. Which makes the following saying very apropos.

Well, life is a journey. I should stop worrying about where I end up and just realize that as long as I'm present in the moment and do my best then the destination will work itself out.
In the end I hope to live a fuller life as of right now and realize that change is essential to make it exciting.
Like Chuck Palahniuk said:
May I never be complete. May I never be content. May I never be perfect.
More than anything, I am in the process of learning not to let fear overtake me once more. Which is why I take Eugine O'Neill's words to heart:
Why am I afraid to dance, I who love music and rhythm and grace and song and laughter? Why am I afraid to live, I who love life and the beauty of the flesh and the living colors of the earth and sky and sea? Why am I afraid to love, I who love love love?
