Pro-Crastination

Guess what? Our future self is pretty unreliable, too. He/she doesn't think that the task in hand sounds like much fun, either, and he/she is just as likely to put it off as you are.

Actually, your future self is even more likely to put it off than you are because you've already established a pattern that putting off that important thing is okay.

If you want to actually succeed in life, stop relying on your future self to take care of things. Now.

I had a brilliant art teacher who used to say that if procrastination were a sport almost everyone would have some kind of medal.

I'd probably have a couple of gold and silver one's by now.  But with my luck these medals would be made of tissue paper wrapped around cardboard.

There was this incredible high I used to get when completing insane projects in a very short amount of time.  In my Senior year of High school I finished a 20 page paper in 12 hours, starting from scratch.  As a result I told myself that if I could finish that gargantuan paper, I could do anything.

I open Facebook for what may be the 20th time today.  Yes, I'm quite sure I have a problem.  It's a somewhat uncontrollable twitch of mine to feel connected to all that I am and once was familiar with.

I promise I'm trying to stop.

This Way Up

I have been dealing with vertigo since about April of this year.  Vertigo is definitely no fun, and can greatly inhibit an active lifestyle as it confuses ones balance and direction.  There are times when I close my eyes and ask myself which way is up.  However I've come to appreciate what it's allowed me to do in this time.  I've been able to reflect on my life and realize what I really need and want to do with my life.

For the past couple of years I have been blessed with a job that I love doing, animating.  It has always been my dream to make cartoons, and learning the art while getting paid for has been amazing.  But money isn't everything.  It isn't what I want, though I understand the need for it in today's society.
