This blog, hopefully, becomes a place where I can just chill out and write when I need to. Because as of right now, I don't really have an active hobby. I have my photography, sure, and I can express myself that way, but lately I've been wondering what I'm going to do with my life when everyone else goes back to school. My brother just moved out last night to head back to Wabash, and I won't be the one going back to school in a couple of days. My neighbors went back to their respectable schools, my friends will be starting classes soon, my best friend (Han) will be starting grad school soon, and my best friends are moving out of the country. One of them, already left, lives in Japan for two years and the other will move to France for about six months. Do you see my problem?
I don't want to sit in my house day after day wondering where all my adventures went. I don't want to be cooped up wondering if this is what adult life feels like. If it means giving up on your dreams and goals, if it means even going to work, coming home, eat, shower, bed. That's so boring. So. So. SO. BORING! Sure, I like to go to the bars and meet new people, but I'm talking about that post-graduate boredom. What DO you do when you've graduated college? Wait for Homecoming? Wait for Bid Day? Sigh.
But I know what you guys may be thinking, Katie, how do you expect to change anything? It's going to be boring, right? It has to be. Adult life sucks. I don't want it to suck though. I don't want to stop smiling or stop writing or laughing or taking pictures, or feeling good about myself. I don't want all the happiness to disappear. I know I'm being dramatic, and I know I have it lucky and blah, blah, blah.
Don't you ever just wonder, if only I had a car, a camera, and a smile. I could go out and see the world and write about it and tell others about it or just keep a little bit for myself. Well, that's what I plan to do. Hopefully. One step at a time. One shot at a time. Quote: "I'm not gonna stop, not gonna stop till I get my shot."
Thanks, Troy.
