What a beautiful day
Hello there, it’s been a while but I have been missing this journaling/random thoughts thing. Plus, it helps me move forward in my understanding of myself and life.
Since last time I wrote on this blog a few things happen. To name just a few, I :
- fucked my feet while doing backcountry skiing at Lassen Peak – Been walking around in flip-flops ever since. Oh and my face literally got grilled
- went on a 10 days Roadtrip with my parents through Arizona-Utah-California – I’ve added some pics on the gallery
- met awesome people
- learn to Belay/climb -> What is Belaying ?
- went to my first hurling Training ever
- started swimming and signed up at YMCA
- Started the book of 5 Rings by Miyamoto Musashi
- ran my second marathon
- realised new things about how to live a better life
Anyways, it’s been awesome. I have also been thinking about what is best for me to do next year.
It feels like I am going through a period of my life where I could either take a backpack, jump on a train and go to Asia, pursue a master in political sciences, work somewhere fun or try endlessly to start companies that might never ever take off.
I am lucky enough to have choices offered to me. Therefore, I believe it is my responsibility to act upon it -and I would be a coward not to.
What they don’t tell you about life of that it’s a never ending game. You go to bed one night and you think having it all figured out, you wake up the next morning and you are back to square one, trying to understand your purpose.
All I know is I want to take on the world. I do not know how, when or why, but the spark is definitively there.
I really do believe people need to take ownership and have full responsibility over their actions. This is probably the reason why my inaction is killing me.
As I am writing those words I am on the way back from San Francisco crossing the bay bridge. I have been meeting amazing people. Interacting with all those good people out there just feels right. Despite what we they are trying to make us believe, all the bullocks and nasty stuff we hear every day around us, I am 100% positive that most people we encounter in our respective life are great human beings – except for 1 or two freaks once in a while. This gives me hope for the years coming.
And if there is a word that stands out from my recent experience and the thoughts I have been dissecting into my head, this is it: people.
I genuinely feel great when I interact with people, and especially when I help them.
I also think people don’t necessarily know or thrive to reach what is best for them -I mean, take the story of our species is a pretty great example.
Funny world we live in. In the end it does not even matter because we are dusts in the mighty scheme of things.
When people tell me we cannot change things before this and that or because people are too eager or not “smart” enough I just wanna say FUCK OFF.
The day you stop questioning what you do, think or say is the day you start dying. If that’s what it is to be a normal/good human, FUCK THIS.
Cheers,
Pierre
