We Going Riding on the Freeway
It's been a long time. I shoudn't have left you. But now as summer approaches I've been thinking as usual...I have been getting older and hopefully wiser but now I'm approaching my 29th birthday. This will be my last year in my twenties. Doesn't that sound weird? For people who know me, I have managed to have a fun filled life thus far. I have travelled many places and always managed to meet good people and develop strong personal relationships. But now as I see myself and the people that I have grown to know get older, I wonder what direction I will take my life.
On the highway to heaven, there comes a time when one must try to shape his or her own future. We do this everyday through the many decisions that we make. Sleep in or wake early, workout or watch TV, go clubbing or read a book, stay late at work or go home. These decisions cumulatively add up to one's direction in life. As I look over the decisions that I have made, the theme that is recurrent is one of freedom and a race against boredom.
As I approach the big 3-0, I am beginning to apply the brakes on the freeway that I have been riding. It seems that I am looking to take the journey through a neighborhood or residential district. I am looking to reflect and plan a simpler life. During this process, the transition is felt and I'm caught in a conundrum sometimes. I only hope and pray that I can slowly hit the brakes on this ride before they don't work anymore...
