The Future

Lately I have been thinking a lot about what my future is going to be and what career choice I need to make as soon as I graduate in the fall. It’s a tough subject and something I have in many ways obsessed over since high school. What I have come to realize though is that I won’t truly know if I have made the right choice unless I actually go out and do it. I sometimes think that my biggest flaw is being too cautious and thinking too much. It gets to the point where I don’t do anything and I am left with the same feeling of discontent and emptiness. I guess I m just afraid of looking back on my life and regretting not being able to experience this gift we are given to the full extent. I know what I want; I just don’t know what path to take. I want to be happy and provide meaning to the world but I’m not sure how. I toil between what other people want me to be and do and what I truly want. I realize I should follow my heart but I don’t know what the hell my heart is saying. I guess I should take one thing at a time and stop worrying about tomorrow and focus on today. I remember once what a Priest once said, that seemed to really make sense to me at the time. He said something like “If you worry about the future you take away your strength in the present”. It is sound advice though I seldom follow it.

The House

So recently I have moved out of Reno and moved in with my parents in Gardnerville. Needless to say it has been quite the change. I love my parents and actually don’t mind necessarily living with them. What I do miss though is not necessarily Reno, but living in my house specifically. I was thinking about it today and I realized that there was a lot of great things about living in that house. For instance, people were always stopping by, we were always doing something, we had a 65 inch big screen, a PS3, a Wii, an Xbox, hundreds of channels with a DVR, surround sound, wireless internet, and four(no wait three…needed firewood) beer pong tables. Plus we would brew our own beer and drink plenty of it and whatever else we could get our hands on. I mean it really doesn’t get much better than that. We would go to class, play PS3 or Xbox, make a beer run, sit on the roof and then walk to the Wal. Now when I go up to Reno my house is empty and all I do there is repair things and fix it up, which I need to do before my new renters come in. I will say that I have enjoyed the last few years of being in the house and that I will miss it. The truth is though I needed to move on and start thinking about my house as a business rather than an “Animal House”.
