From Lisa-Jo Baker, the Gypsy Mama: "On
Fridays around these parts we like to write. Not for comments or
traffic or anyone else's agenda. But for fun, for practice, for joy at
the sound of syllables, sentences and paragraphs all strung together by
the voice of the speaker. We love to just write without worrying if it's just right or not. For five minutes flat."
GO
Choose. It's a word that's been haunting me for weeks and months now. I have so many directions that I could potentially go with my life in the next few months: go to Honduras, move out, get a real job that actually pays something, buy a horse (just kidding on the last one...maybe)--the possibilities are, while not endless, numerous.
And paralyzing.
For fear of not 'choosing the right thing' I've been sitting back, waiting, working 6 hours a day 6 days a week, occasionally making things to occupy my restless hands, avoiding making any solid decisions because I'm afraid that by choosing one item out of many that would cancel out the remaining options. That it would cement my course and make it impossible to re-orient myself should I decide to do something else.
Other people have told me 'you don't have to worry about being stuck'. Or that I can 'always change my mind'. But how is one to learn fidelity if one is always changing their mind?
STOP
(Wow. I kinda stink at this sort of thing. XD)
