i miss being outside. seems lately all i have time for is driving to and fro school, studying and the occasional bit to dream. every free moment is spent in pursuit of something just out of reach...the next degree, then on to a career, and then, and then...it never stops. i remember when taking time for myself was important but it slips away so fast. this world teaches us to crave the future and never be satisfied with the present. i want to stop all of that as of this moment. yes, i will continue on with my degree, but i will stop and take time out for myself. my motorcycle will not sit in the garage every weekend. i will go on long drives and photograph everything. i will take long hikes and stop to look at the flora and fauna around me. to do this makes me a better and more pleasant person, and when i am this way then i treat others better and there is never any harm in doing that.
