Time flies

I wrote this on Wednesday, but life has taken a couple of turns since then (my, how time really does fly. I'm sure I would write something very different now, but I'm too tired to edit/rewrite right now. I'll get there though...)...
            In a week I will have been writing this blog for a year. In a lot of ways it feels longer. And I’ve written about a lot more than I had planned. I’ve done free writing, but there’s also been a fair amount of “here are my thoughts on life” type blogs (like this one) and a few beauty type blogs.
            And now I’m thinking about how a friend of mine talked about honesty is just the easiest. I have been honest about how I’m not going to be completely honest. My name is not Lynne Klet. I’ve skewed some other facts, but I have been more honest than I originally planned. So, if I contradict myself, very well, I contradict myself. Honesty is easiest, but sometimes wearing a mask allows someone to be more honest.
            Which brings me to time. To be completely honest, I’m kind of sucking at life horribly right now. I tried coming up with a list last night of things I wanted to do in the remainder of this year. Today, I’m back to feeling unmotivated and like a rock at the bottom of a scummy pond. Life would be so much easier if someone came along, picked me up, and helped me start anew.
            Easier, but less meaningful. I’ve come to a point in my life where I have to decide for myself which direction to go. I am single (though far from unattached because of all the weekly commitments I have. Nevertheless), I could go anywhere, do anything. Where do I want to go? What do I want to be doing? Writing can be done anywhere at any time, but I need a day job to survive.
            I want to go on an adventure! But I can’t even answer what kind of adventure it is that I want to go on… I want to live an exciting life day by day by just reaching out to people and showing them God’s love. I can’t see myself as a missionary though. Just someone who’s life looks ordinary but it is extraordinary.
            And again, I can do that anywhere in many different jobs.
            Let’s face it, we’re not all Rose Tyler. Our dream life doesn’t always grab us by the hand and say, “Run!” with a smile. We all probably wish it did though.
            I guess what I’m saying is that time flies. Own every second of it. Don’t let it be wasted. Don’t wonder where it went off to. Figure out what your passions are and where you want to be.
