Welcome to Camp Purpose

Good Morning my lovely readers!

I hope you are all doing splendidly on this snowy Monday morning. Technically, I am writing this at 12:09 am, so it is morning, just barely. And it may not be snowy where you are, but it is here! I love the snow.

Recently, I have realized that most of my posts on this blog are kind of preachy-preachy. Kind of dull, and about "life lessons" and things of the sort. I can assure you, that is not all this blog is for. I mainly post what is on my mind at the time, what is bothering me, or just things I want to share. I would love it if people would comment and tell me what it is that they want to hear, but since I am a novice writer, I haven't earned that privilege yet. So until somebody tells me otherwise, Imma just keep doing what I'm doing! That's kind of my philosophy for life as a whole.

Which reminds me, do you think anybody ever really knows what they're doing? Like, in general? It seems to me, and this is just hazy speculation, that a lot of people float through life without the slightest clue. I can definitely be included in that gene pool. I am young, yes, and so I like to justify myself in saying "Well, I don't have to know what I'm doing just yet. I've got time to figure it out." But what happens when I get old, and I'm still doing the same things, and I don't know why I'm doing them, and...and...PANIC ATTACK.

Just kidding :) But this is something I'd like to try and pay closer attention to in the future. I am, luckily, in the field of education that I think fits me and what I want to get out of a career perfectly. And I understand that not everyone has the opportunity to go to school, and some people are obligated to doing things they don't want to do, for the good of others. We've all been there. But for me personally, I don't want to float through life blissfully unaware. And I don't plan to.

For now, I'll keep on truckin'. And when I find exactly where it is I'm going, I think I'll stop, set up camp, make a fire, and enjoy the marshmallowy goodness of a life well-spent.

To quote a friend of mine, "Cheers".

  2. Going through writings from your grandma and grandpa when they were your age, they were in the same frame of mind. It's fun to see the things they thought were funny, the slang of their day "gee whiz," "golly," etc. They were always uniquely themselves, pursuing their dreams while adjusting to the times - the Great Depression, WWII, marriage, kids (7), jobs, etc. and there was purpose always - to give back to God through the gifts He gave them. I hope we can do the same. Yeah, you probably get the preachiness from the Brennan side :)
