doth fly

a year ago today i was intent on *doing something* and all i've done is talk and think about it since. in all, the last two years have pretty much been a complete waste for me in a lot of ways. attempting to do anything in the face of that is very, very hard

getting into the rut is always easy, its so comfortable down there who wants to get out?

When the cars and trucks start running you over however, it may be time to move.

Little steps, decide where you want to go. Decide what is the smallest thing you can do to begin the journey, sometimes that thing may be as small as "I will not spend the entire day indoors today" or it may be as large as "I will register for class today"

Pick something big or small and do it,get some momentum going, the rest will flow. There will be stops and starts but go back to doing something small if the big things seem daunting.

It is one of the greatest reasons I love being married to dragonfire_527 so much. She really does make it possible for me to just do things without over thinking them. "Change careers and move across country... SURE why the hell not!" "Try a relationship style that goes against most of the cultural norms I have... Bring it on!" "Look into myself and change fundamental things about who I am and how I see the world... Scary but can't really hurt can it!"

Stick close to her it will help. She is great for pushing for change without you realizing that you are scared shitless.

Yeah, I love it when that happens! =) (Honestly, I was flattered that calmingdragon characterized me in such a way. I think he forgets I get scared shitless, too.)

[calmingdragon]

I think you're right.

I am glad to hear that he has someone who inspires him. I know how much it really means to me to have someone by your side.

Brie and I have a lot similar but there are definitely enough things different to keep each other changing, stretching and growing.

It is comfy down in the rut. I know this after having been there for an age. You'll find - I think, at least - that the further from the rut you get the more energy for the change you'll have.

I like the new icon by the way. :)

let's hope that's true. thanks =)

You sure the main reason why you haven’t been able too travel, was due to lack off money and lack of vacation time?

Like I always say, sometimes you have to throw yourself into things to be motivated to do them. If I didn’t just throw myself too a canvas or crafty thingamabob, um... I would probably be doing more of the whole club/bar thing and have no liver by now. :P

So again just take a gun to your head if you have too, whatever gets you motivate too get out the door.
I guess it helps to live in a dump, like I do, to be more motivated too leave ones house. :)

i'm pretty sure it not a lack of resources. i mean, i tell myself all the time that i don't have time for things, but that's just an excuse i've adopted that sounds reasonable enough to me that i stopped questioning it.

i agree about throwing oneself into things. baby steps don't generally work for me so well and they haven't really had much effect so far. i just have to remember how to *do*.
