What to muse about?

In the past, I used my erstwhile blog from high school/college to write about my personal life. However, I've grown less susceptible to doing similar things with this blog. I think part of it is that I have a lot less time to muse about life now. Thinking about what a wonderful day it feels like outside doesn't matter as much to me when the extent of my walking outside is what gets me from the subway to work or back to my apartment. When I'm at home, I tend to prefer to unwind and relax after a long day of work.

I'm also of the opinion that dwelling too much on yourself can lead to too much doubt in yourself and undercut your belief in the path you are taking with your life. Introspection is good, but it's not as golden as I thought it used to be. Whereas I used to find pondering the deeper philosophical underpinnings of life and my own credos by which to live a fascinating mental exercise, that's exactly all it is - an exercise. The best way to live life is to live it on the fly and to create a constantly evolving you. In a way, it's similar to the way the Constitution should be interpreted - as a living document that fits the times, not as a piece of paper frozen in time.

On living and growing

This weekend was one of the more emotional, so to speak, of our relationship to date. Nevertheless, I think we came out of it for the better, and I feel closer to her than ever. And, in the end, she's going to be in New York - I could hardly ask for more.

Life doesn't always go the way you think it will, but when it's close enough, I've learned to be happy with the results. :)
