Years later...

Four years, to be exact. I've just finished my second year of law school, have a slight suspicion as to what it is I want to do with the rest of my life, and am slowly approaching the day that will force me to work real, 60 hour a week, paying job. I feel like I imagine a skydiver must feel when he knows he's only got 5 minutes left in the safety of the plane. I'm hoping I can avoid the whole plummeting-down-at-an-incredible-rate-thing, that follows in this skydiver analogy. Or maybe my skydiver has on one of those fancy new gliding suits. Who knows.

I still feel like no matter what I do, I'm closing myself off to some of the things i love to do. I wanted to be a lawyer... well, now I can't be a designer. If I go to design school after law school, the day will come where I'll have to decide what it is I want to do. So really, it doesn't get any easier. I guess the only thing left to do is just try things, one at a time. Lawyering (I hate that word, and yet I use it) should be fulfilling. We'll see what happens. It may work out that I'm perfectly satisfied being a lawyer. Or maybe a lawyer by day, designer by night. Again... we shall see.

For now, I'm going to try to get back into writing. I've done some poetry, but this is my first attempt in a long time to try and record my thoughts prosaic language. Lets see if we can keep it up!

i havent written in a long time.  i dont mean blogged, i mean really written. it seems i have epiphanies every other day but rarely have the time to process them, much less write them down.  change is inevitable. people come and go.  to keep yourself upset takes much more work than to let yourself be happy.  in order to grow in any direction, one must cut old and fruitless branches.  love is eagerly taken but not as easily given.  these things all sound cliche and commonly known, but it isnt until theyve been experienced that you believe a one of them.  i should try to write them down as they come.  that would make thinking clearly alot easier.  this isnt writing, its more like...a stream of consciousness. thanks, Wilde.

If theres one thing I've realized its that we never stop learning. Ever.

The minute we think we know ourselves, we stumble across a little piece of our own souls that we never even knew existed.  Sometimes its finding out how we react to a new experience.  Other times that little piece of us that we find, we find in another person.   Maybe you put it there. Maybe you found it there.  The point is, you find bits of yourself all the time, everywhere. And we dont always like what we find.  In fact, some of those fragments, we toss right back into the ground, burry them deep so we'll never have to run into them again.  But the ones that are good for us...  they build up, come together in  ways that leave you wiser.  Stronger.  Weaker.  Vulnerable and trusting.  They can make you love deeper.  They can make you see things you always chose to ignore.  Those good pieces,  you dont want to throw away.  You hold onto them like your very life depends on them.  And really, it does.  Without the good, youre just an empty shell.  No, you dont burry those good parts.  You figure you'll save the ground for your dirt.  Thats what life is: the gold you sift from the dirt, and hold above all else.

I'd never really thought about that.

Your brain: 40% interpersonal, 160% visual, 100% verbal, and 100% mathematical!
Congratulations on being 400% smart! Actually, on my test, everyone is. The above score breaks down what kind of thinking you most enjoy doing. A score above 100% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 100% means you use it less. It says nothing about how good you are at any one, just how interested you are in each, relatively. A substantial difference in scores between two people means, conclusively, that they are different kinds of thinkers.

Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice, which I think is obvious:

  1. Don't date someone if your interpersonal percentages differ by more than 80%.
  2. Don't be friends with someone if your verbal percentages differ by more than 100%.
  3. Don't have sex with someone if their math percentage is over 200%.
