MANHATTANHENGE

It's been awhile since my last post. I think I'm busy. Next week is my last week at my full time job. Looking forward to being able to get a good nights rest for a bit! going to see how long I can go before I need another job. That should be exciting.

Today was Manhattanhenge. We got there about 2 minutes too late. But I walked away with this ridiculous photo.... and so did they.

 If you didn't catch it... I ended up taking a photo of a photographer, photographing another photographer photographing somebody who was photographing somebody taking photos of the Manhattan sunset with a Polaroid camera. I wonder if anyone was taking a photo of me? Weird....

 I want to find all the photographers and put their images in sequencial order. That would be awesomesauce.

Friendships can last a lifetime.

Ben & Jerry's

Ran 3.75 miles in 29 minutes... Then when I got home I ate a half quart of Ben & Jerry's. YUM

It all starts and then you're dead.

It all starts....

As a toddler: eat your greens

As a child: eat your greens, be nice to others

As a teenager: eat your greens, be nice to others, get good grades

As a younger adult: eat your greens, be nice to others, get good grades, be successful.

As a middle aged man: eat your greens, be nice to others, get good grades, be successful, create a functioning family.

As a senior citizen: eat your greens, be nice to others, get good grades, be successful, create a functioning family, watch your blood pressure

As an elderly man: eat your greens, be nice to others, get good grades, be successful, create a functioning family, watch your blood pressure, keep your sanity.

And then you're dead.

I feel like your words speak directly to my soul. I understand you. All that you are. And I fucking love you for that.

Life is too short.

Words are too long.

Being so lost has never felt so great. I'm completely freaked out right now but I wouldn't have it any other way. I keep taking these paths that lead me to something greater. Is it all accidental or is it my destiny? That was a pointless question. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

How many times do I have to remind myself that the future is right in front of me? And that the only person stopping me from achieving any of those goals.... would be this guy right here. Obviously I am having some problems with committing to that fact, otherwise I wouldn't be writing about this right now.

my goal is to reach my goals. not only reach, but to grasp.

Direction

Walk in your own footsteps.
Wander deeper into the woods.
Leave behind all you are;
Take with you what you'll become.

You are a unique, badass, and multi-faceted human being. There is no one else even remotely like you. Who are you to withhold your greatness from the world?

Why would you waste a second of your precious time pretending to be someone else? How dare you hide your gifts from us? Why would we want you to be like every other [insert category here] out there?

We don't.

We want you. The authentic you. The real, genuine, imperfect, weird, quirky, REAL you. Anything less than that is not enough.

Just be you. It's the most amazing gift you can give to yourself, to me, to everyone in your world, and everyone in the world.

It's easier for some people than it is for others. If it's hard for you, make it your life's work to search for and find your authentic self. There is nothing more urgent.

Take full responsibility for your thoughts, behaviors, actions, the consequences of those actions, and the impact you have on people around you.

Be grateful. Appreciate and love what you have and what's working.

Seek clarity. Figure out what you like, what you want, and what's important to you.

Make decisions based on what's aligned with your values and what you're passionate about.

Learn to let go of the things/people/thoughts that don't serve you or steer you toward happiness and fulfillment.

If you know what's important to you, it's easier to know why you are doing things and what things you should be doing. Don't waste time doing things that are not related to what's important to you.

Dare to be emotionally accessible, vulnerable, and to expand your emotional range. Go for depth, richness, and honesty. It's raw, it's terrifying, and it's exhilarating.

Whatever you are, whoever you are, and whatever it is that you're all about - OWN IT.

Be unapologetically you. Know what you're about and pursue your dreams with an open heart and genuine passion. If someone doesn't like it, that's fine. But it's not your problem.

Seek resonance. This is where the magic happens. Don't fear it. Embrace it.

Be alive. Be real. Be you.

I dare you.

it's kind of humbling once you realize there are 7,000,000,000 people on earth and that each one of them is experiencing their own life one day at a time.

“Because I always feel like running
Not away, because there is no such place
Because if there was, I would have found it by now
Because it's easier to run,
Easier than staying and finding out you're the only one who didn't run
Because running will be the way your life and mine will be described,
As in "the long run"
Or as in having "given someone a run for his money"
Or as in "running out of time"
Because running makes me look like everyone else, though I hope there will never be cause for that
Because I will be running in the other direction, not running for cover
Because if I knew where cover was, I would stay there and never have to run for it
Not running for my life, because I have to be running for something of more value to be running and not in fear
Because the thing I fear cannot be escaped, eluded, avoided, hidden from, protected from, gotten away from,
Not without showing the fear as I see it now
Because closer, clearer, no sir, nearer
Because of you and because of that nice
That you quietly, quickly be causing
And because you're going to see me run soon and because you're going to know why I'm running then
You'll know then
Because I'm not going to tell you now”

---Gil Scott-Heron

Looking pretty in a city of a million lost personalities. 

Being shy is not fun.

It's going to be a fantastic summer.

“I am my own biggest critic. Before anyone else has criticized me, I have already criticized myself. But for the rest of my life, I am going to be with me and I don't want to spend my life with someone who is always critical. So I am going to stop being my own critic. It's high time that I accept all the great things about me.” 
― C. JoyBell C.

I can't stop thinking... about anything. friends, this city, my future...

My world seems to have been flipped completely upside down.

I'm still here, but nobody's around. Nothing makes nearly as much sense as it used to.

I'm moving to the woods... on an island...alone..(Not in Central Park) 

Try to come and find me.

It's cheesy
