Hopes, Dreams, and Other Things

I've lately been questioning things. Mainly hopes and dreams, and the pursuit of such things throughout life.
People have always said, "Life's not fair." Well...why the heck not? Why can't life be fair? Who was the person that said it could not be fair, and who are they to continually tell me such? Sure, things happen and life sucks once and a while for various reasons, those reasons varying from little things to drastic life changing events, but why are there so many people in the world willing to accept that that is the way things are? You work through the tough, through the pain and hurt, the frustrations. You strive to find happiness once more, or if you've never had it, to discover it for the first time.
Life can be fair, there is absolutely no reason it should not be. Whether you are religious, or don't believe in any higher power beyond what is on this earth, there is no reason that you should not believe in something great like happiness, or love for that matter.

Ever since I changed my major to English, I've been second guessing myself, asking myself if this is really what I want to do. And I know it is, but why can I not do more? Just because it isn't typical to do more than one thing in life as a profession does not mean I can't do it in my life.

I signed up for a Communications Design class last night because I've been extremely interested in graphic design lately, and thought I could see if I enjoy the very basic essentials of what that specific degree and/or life choice has to offer. If so, I'm thinking I might get my masters in graphic design. I know I'll continue my education further once I have my bachelor's degree, I've always had that goal in mind, but it wasn't until recently that I decided to go in a completely different direction than what I'm doing now. I want to finish what I'm doing now, there's no doubt about that, but once I've graduated, I want change.

I feel like most people fear change a little bit, but are eager to have it in their lives all the same. I think this is why I want to live in so many places in the years to come. I want stability and continuity, but I can always do more. There is always more.

In conclusion...wait no. I hate that.
In the end.
Anyway.
In summation.
We all have the chance to live well, and we all have the ability to choose how to do that. So do it well, and, ultimately, be happy.


Later days.

This was kind of a rant of a blog post, my apologies.

Band of the Day: The Hidden Cameras. At the moment, I'm quite enjoying the song "A Miracle" and, though I probably shouldn't love it so much, "Steal All You Can M*********r". But if I were you, I'd at least give the first one a listen. I have yet to even come close to listening to all of their tunes. This is very much the kind of music I strive to make, personally. Just laid back and chill.
fact: Even during the ridiculously hot St. George summers, I sleep with a comforter on me. I like to be cozy.
