Sometimes the Universe is Trying to Tell You Something
I took this in Dumbo, Brooklyn last week after it snowed.
About a year ago, under the spell of lazy Senioritis and the impending graduation that would set me off into the world to hopefully become a contributing member of society, a casual phrase I would toss out from time to time was, “I probably won’t be sleeping for the next 5 years.” At the time, it was kind of a rebuttal to the fact that I would be financially cut off come summertime and figured I would be working a full time day job plus waitressing/bar tending to afford living in one of the most expensive cities in the world. Leaving to live somewhere cheaper wasn’t an option, but neither was living off of Daddy’s money anymore.
So now, a year later, I’m finding that the reasons for my lack of sleep differ a bit than expected. I’ve developed into a “work hard, play hard” state of mind. I’ve found that while I can afford the same lifestyle that I had as a college student, I actually have money - and time - leftover, leading me to take on more projects, yet never turning down an invitation to happy hour. Time is kind of like purses: no matter how big of a bag you buy, you’ll always find more crap to fill it up. However, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s just a matter of filling it with pretty and useful things rather than letting the gum wrappers and receipts accumulate into a pile of junk.
That being said, I’m heading to Florida tomorrow and will hopefully return rebalanced and refocused. I plan to get a lot of sleep.
