I'm just reprimanding myself... pangaea August 12 2001, 08:54:21 UTC

because I really haven't lived much. I've lead a relatively closeted life, wherein most of my experiences have been vicarious or at least stewed in my mind for so long that I squeeze every drop of sense out of them. Like squeezing water from a rock.

For me, I just used to spend so much time in my head, because I thought that was a good enough replacement for living. But it's not. I just use it as an excuse to mask my fear of actually venturing out into the world and doing the things I think of and dream off. Yes, dreams are part of living. But, dreams alone do not make a fulfilling life make. It's in making my dreams a reality that I feel I have lacked effort.

It might be completely different for you. :)

It's actually the same for everyone, the world doesn't work any other way. The soul wishes to experience life.

The experience you create is a statement of who you are - and who you want to be.

Back to the past. How appropriate for 2002.

The experience you create is a statement of who you are - and who you want to be.

I certainly hope so. I think 2002 is a great year to do some more experience creation.

by the way, dreams are another way of living.

this sort of sentiment seems to be of a set. i have read many of late and have felt it myself to some degree.

what is it about the time?

It's kind of sad that I am not alone... pangaea August 11 2001, 22:13:10 UTC

Nope, not bad at all. pangaea August 12 2001, 08:44:19 UTC
