Damn right, life is short.
So love your family, find your god, make great friends and learn as much as you can. Find one drink worth paying for, one sport worth screaming for, one cause worth dying for and one person worth living for.
That's my new life policy and I'm sticking to it. So far I've only fulfilled a couple of them though.
I'm risking getting overly personal on my blog here but oh well...
I love my family and I have great friends. I know my god knows me and logically I know I that I know him too but I can't help but question how deeply I believe that when I compare my rational, calm approach to faith to the zeal of some of my fellow students who go to mass every day. I mean really? If I really believe in God how come I don't feel that way about going to mass too?
As for the others - I know there's always more to learn and I'll do my best to never stop trying.
I'm still searching for the alcoholic equivalent of my little black dress and so far the closest is a very very dirty martini (cuz it tastes like eating olives - yay for being arab). Still not worth it though...
Sports - cricket, baseball and american football are too long. Football could work maybe (I did have to suppress a squeal when Manchester City scored against Man U today)...rugby looks promising.
Obviously haven't found a person (just in a romantic context ) worth dying for (in either the literal or Shakespearean meaning - sorry parents for that remark!!!!) or I'd be married already.
As for a cause...ummmm....... I would die for my family. I know that much..but it's not really a cause. Not democracy, emancipation, feminism, environmentalism.... MAYBE i'd be willing to die fighting for the right to an education...just maybe. Book burners beware! haha.
Anywayy...that was my deep reflection for the moment. Some day I will come back to this and see if I made any progress.
Okay so if you want to know what I've been up to for the past two days check this video out!
LOVE,
Ashley

Hopefully next week I'll have more free time to finish the short story I'm writing and I'll send it to you. I have to be in a very angry mood to write it though cuz it's an angry short story. *quotes elf* He's an angry elf! lol
I don't know about not having found a sport, we clearly do enough screaming (in pain) at ND football games to qualify! football as a whole though, nah. :P
ReplyDeleteI like the new policy though, but don't worry too much about what you think you're missing and just keep enjoying life! :)

I miss you ash. I hope you are having the time of your life.
