Back in the Swing

The rapid nature of time never ceases to amaze me. The more you need, the less you have, and because time seems to escape me so easily, I don’t know if I’ve ever been completely ‘ready’ for what comes next.

My first year off from full-time study taught me a great deal about myself. I came to realize that my fear of boredom was detrimental to the structure (rather, ‘hope for structure’) of my life, as I now find myself committed to almost too many activities to cope with. I had always thought one of my weaknesses was in starting something new, but I guess my real flaw is the ability to finish what I’ve begun.

However, I’ve never been the type to only focus on the one single thing, it is the diverse lifestyle that I choose that gives me the motivation to keep going. The difficulty lies in the skills required to maintain a balanced and organized life, skills I have yet to fully equip myself with.

I am hopeful that returning to study will once again provide me with some much needed ’structure,’ so that I won’t be left floating within the universe without any notion of time and the effects of not achieving what I am meant to at certain points in my life.

The way it all ends, well, only time will tell.
