So it's been a while since, I've written... but it's not because a lack of thoughts, but a lack of time. The fashion show is less than a month away now and with 2 full outfits to make and three outfits still in the process of being made, you might say I'm a little crunched for time. I'm not too worried though, pressure and time crunches are good sometimes.
On to what I wanted to talk about...
Everyday when I walk to class, I listen to my mp3 player. For the most part, I usually select an album or specific artist to listen to, but every once and a while I decide to be a little unpredictable and throw it on "shuffle" mode.
Now mind you, even though this is technically my mp3 player, having an older brother who likes music and enjoys sharing it with you without asking, every once and a while I find random songs on my mp3 player that I don't know and I don't particularly like. Even half of the songs I have put on there are getting "old," "boring," or "practical" or maybe they just don't fit my mood.
So when I'm walking down the street jamming to my mp3 player, a song comes on and it's OK, not great, not awful, just OK. So I linger on that song for a second and for that full second of my life I feel hesitant. Should I continue to listen to this OK song? Should I switch? What if the next song is awful? But what if the next song is GREAT?!
This is the same sort of questioning that often occurs in my life. What if I mess up? What if I look dumb?
BUT WHY?
Life's too short to hesitate, now this doesn't mean to avoid logical reasoning, and this doesn't mean that not all things need reflection, but not many things need as much time or energy as we usually give them.
So I say, press ">>Next".
Without hesitation.
Maybe the next song in the shuffle stinks, but maybe it's great, if you never press ">>Next" you will never know.
Shuffle on my friends. Until >>Next Time.
