Stumbling Upon Myself

Through my stumble upon, I've found the website Marc and Angel.

More specifically, I was intrigued by this:

I'm truly AWFUL at doing anything for more than...well, 3 days in a row. BUT I'm going to try to tackle one of these ideas each day. If I make it, better yet when I make it, I'm going to tackle the year long version of it.

So, without further ado: Idea numero uno.



Immediately, I have no idea. I feel old, but why? Is it because I would love to be 20 forever since that is the age of what I consider a "proficient" college student. Not so much as a beginner 18 year old, but not a 23 year old graduate with a real job.

Then again, when I consider the vastness that is time, or that is to be one's life, I feel like I don't know anything about being old. I still have next to zero patience, or wisdom, or any of those endearing qualities you're supposed to acquire with age.

Trying to find the balance between feeling old, and feeling "green" at life, my logical brain says, "Self, you're 23. You're exactly what you are." But that's got to be the cop out answer, right?

I'm starting to like the idea of feeling as young as possible, but being smarter about it. I think I'd like to feel like I'm 17ish, but also cling to every bit of wisdom I've had the privilege of picking up at my ripe old age of 23.

So I guess: Be young, stupid, and full of life, but find a way to be smart about it.




Wait, isn't that pretty much a 23 year-old?
Sigh.
