so as all of you who read this (mom) can tell, i’ve made some changes around here.
it seems like thats where my life is at, a place of change. nearly every aspect of who and where i am is changing. my musical tastes have shifted to much more acoustic folk music (a la Joni Mitchell, Stew, Damien Rice). i’ve become very interested in literature again (currently reading Collective Stories by Saul Bellow). i’ve changed my major three times in the past month and haven’t yet gotten to college. (as of now its Journalism at Ball State). my career as a Marching Wildkat is nearly to an end, and its been a fantastic ride. we have the opportunity to make history this weekend, being the first band to advance past regional competition in a decade. it’s been such a learning experience and i’ll never forget it.
my friendships are changing and growing. i feel more relationally honest then i have in years.
not to mention, it’s my favorite season of the year, fall. i love seeing the vibrant colors all around as the leaves change from plain greens to vivid oranges and yellows. this season is always an introspective one for me, as i see the world around me changing. the smell of bonfires and taste of warm apple cider always makes me quite nostalgic.
perhaps best of all, and most uncommon, i’ve started writing again. no great poems or songs yet, but simply writing my thoughts and feelings down in free form. it’s been very redeeming to put a pen to paper again. there are some great things happening around here, and my mind and heart feel more full then they have for quite some time.
just a little update on my life and where my head is at.
but let me know, where are you?
