A friend of mine said the other day 'Out of sight, out of mind works for me'. Something along those lines. This is concept that has never really made much sense to me, as I was always told ignoring your problems never helps them go away. The things you chose not to think about will likely be there when you decide to open up again.
It's a simple concept really, not thinking about something. It is much more difficult when actually put into play. There is something on my mind that has been plaguing me for months. It's not really important what it is, and I suppose anyone who knows about my life will realize what I'm talking about. This thing though, has been so imprinted on my mind that the concept of ignoring it seems like an almost impossible feat. Being of the firm belief that nothing is impossible, I will attempt to do just that.
It's not that this thing is harming me in any way, or even a bad thing really. It is, however, hindering me from making forward progress in my life. I very much want to go about my college experience with a sense of adventure. I want to try new things and travel (how cliche is that?). How can I ever accomplish my goals in life if every time I make a mistake I let it weigh on me and consume my attention? I'm only human after all, and perhaps I have let that get away from me. Even as I write this the idea of pouring my thoughts onto the internet for everyone to read seems a little silly to me, yet here I am, because I want to make a positive change in my life. I really want to figure out who I am going to be, and why I want to be that person.
To finally adress the point, I have decided that maybe 'out of sight out of mind' works well for me too. I definitely don't want to burn any bridges, but for the time being I need to focus on myself and what I want.
Anyway, I promise the next blog won't be so invested, I just really needed to put these thoughts into words. On a lighter and much more exciting note, only two more days until my lens arrives! I know I know, try to contain your excitement. Really you're just embarrassing yourself. I will slap that bad boy on as soon as I get it and take some nice pictures for everyone. Well, maybe not slap. I would really hate for the picture I posted to be of another broken lens. Edit: I will gingerly place the lens onto the camera, and take some awesome photos for you guys (and girls). I will leave you with another picture.
I wont give you any information on this one. I don't want to spoil the image. Do you know what it is? More importantly, what do you see?
