A lot of big changes for me in the near future here. Will most likely be moving to a new house soon (or at least exchanging [ex] boyfriend for a roommate), will be losing two of my pets, and summer will overtake Seattle (meaning I can do all those things I wanted to do when the weather was crap).
So many people I know are content with the status quo, with things being the way they always were. And as much as I'd like to think I'm different, I'm actually just as guilty of this in many ways as they are. It's so easy to accept that gray area between joy and pain, and cling to that as "happiness."
I've been carrying around the program to a funeral for the last week. Just this morning I realized there was a quote on the back of it:
"The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time."
- Mark Twain
Well, I'm not prepared to die at anytime. And I think it's about time I got ready.
The American Dream is an ugly beast.
