  • Just Because


    Kind of excited.

    On Saturday, I went to Detroit. I went directly from Chinese School, so I didn't have my camera with me, but I was so struck that I used Kelly's (8.1 MP) cell phone camera to capture a few shots. Detroit is so beautiful in its own sad, lonely sort of way. Coming home, so motivated. Looking for places to go, but ending up disappointed--I didn't want to leave.

    The words keep flooding back as I have to talk to myself every day. I'm like a mother and a toddler at the same time, pushing to do one more thing and just live through it and complaining all the while. I'm the performer and the judge.

    Today I came home from a series of tiring activities, sat down to a "TO DO", and promptly walked out of my house...to discover this:

  • The days pass by so quickly.

    It's not fair! -whine-

    On one hand, I felt like I got nothing done this break. I still have my list of homework and things to catch up on, but that always got pushed back. It wasn't important to me, I guess. On the other hand, I felt like I finished everything I wanted to accomplish. Somebody said, happy people have projects. :) Yes! Doing things in my passion fills me up with super excitement. Because within those, I have no fear. But elsewhere...This lifestyle works temporarily--ideas kind of spew out of me like crazy, and during break, I can actually follow through with them. Maybe I'll freelance one day. A lot of the time, I just go with the attitude of starting every commitment at once, so that when it comes, so be it--and then I'm overwhelmed, but in a positive way. Still, I feel like I'm neither old nor mature enough to work without a schedule and some school (omg school tomorrow). May my work ethic return.

    I've been moved and so I am moving. Whether or not I do something about it is my problem, and whether or not you see/care is kind of yours. It's been a good thinking time. Usually I don't have much to say, you know? I'm finally able to sit and think and write, and design and create and build. Basically, I found out that I really like my solitude, my independence. And I'm still trying to decipher the line between busyness and serving. Yet staying these days inside this house (haven't been outside much :\) and even in Chicago, in the hotel, I know I can't stay here. Too many limitations, too much confinement. There are places to go, people to see! So may this year be filled with risk and adventure.

    Some say, maybe my dreams are too much. Nah. But speaking of this year, I did make a New Year's resolution...whether or not I follow through is pretty questionable. I resolve to sleep earlier...hahaha. Okay then.
