I woke up this morning feeling completely renewed. It was like the surge of strange excitement yesterday when I took my first steps in a completely new running style. The two are somehow connected in this series of fragmented epiphanies I have had since Saturday night, summing to this: I should only try to control things that I have control over – otherwise, let it go entirely.
I realized that the things that have been causing me pain lately are simply out of my control. And to over-analyze what would have been, what should have been, and what maybe could be only amplifies the headache that resides in my temples. So I am done with all this.
I loaded all three Third Eye Blind albums onto my shuffle and then spent 8+ hours in the Moffitt basement today. It’s not just that the school year hasn’t even started, but more like that I’m NEVER in Moffitt. Except for the nagging fact that I’m starting to enjoy the slightly overpriced food at FSMcafe. I’m trying to cut down my cash expenses lately and the $6.25 hot panini sandwiches aren’t really cooperating. Nor are the $1.50 italian sodas at Strada.
Life is too short to spend time and energy over thinking everything ad nauseam. Go. Do. Live life and take pleasure in it even when life gets tough. Take pleasure in all of life’s challenges, for it is the experience which is truly once in a lifetime.
