Day in the Life

Day 2. I have decided what this blog will be. Not the theme or the entry type, but at least its meaning to me. I will post in this blog every day, for at least a year, and it will be a way of being held accountable. To something. Everyday I will have to find something to write about (even if it's just "for lunch, I had tuna" or "In Vegas, no time to write" <-- though I much prefer the latter), some way to put my stamp on the day. Also, and this isn't a necessity, I'd like to list any events, sightings, or moments that really touched me for the day. Perhaps this could be a small list or mere item or two at the bottom of the post. My acting teacher recommended it some time ago as a way of logging and eventually coming to some general sense of what moves each of us personally in life.

I think I spend too much time dwelling on what could have been or how I could have lived my life. While self-reflection is a meaningful tool for self-discovery and determining how we'd like to move forward with our lives, it's ultimately rendered useless if we ruminate in it for too long. Sure, I've made mistakes. I've meandered through life, putting off any real movement forward, but this is not reason enough to halt any future growth. In fact, the moment I start moving forward and growing will be the moment I can let go (to the largest extent one can ever release regrets anyway) of those doubts harbored and be confident I'm now living to the fullest. I want to be there. I will be there. If I can just make each day better than the day before it, I just might be able to make something of this life after all.
