Lunch - ritz crackers and cheese with a granola bar
Dinner - hopefully, homemade chicken and rice (yes, my domesticity has increased)
Decisions
Haven’t been in the mood to write in weeks. It’s kind of sad. But it’s also very telling. What I’ve learned is that my writing is driven by a number of things. And a few of those key driving factors have been absent from my life as of late, so it’s been challenging to get motivated.
I’ve been doing so great, though, lately. I destroyed November. I’m not going to say that I broke the curse, but I sure as heck made a great month out of it this year. My independence factor is soaring. I guess this is the season of life where you truly begin to feel like you’re becoming an adult. It’s making me proud in the best way possible.
When certain factors are removed or absent from your life, motive becomes much clearer and purer. Purer is a funny word to say out loud. But seriously, identifying the driving factors of your actions and decisions isn’t very complicated.
Earlier this year I was in a big season of doing. I’m still a doer, I love being a doer, but recently I’ve become a decider. I am making great decisions. With plenty of distractions removed, I’m on a decision streak. Jack Donaghy calls this "Reaganing."
The challenge with this is that, like the FSU Seminoles eventually losing someday, I will eventually make a bad decision. It’s inevitable. But when the Noles do lose, I hope they do so with honor, respect and class. I hope they leave everything out on the field and are able to walk away with their heads held high. Similarly, I hope when I eventually make a bad decision, that it’s a good bad decision. Whatever that means.
So I think that’s what this next phase of life and growing into adulthood looks like; learning how to make good bad decisions. And I have no idea what that looks like yet, but I’ll try and keep you posted.
