I realize that I've been slacking off. It's not that I was slacking off, but I had a really busy week (it was my last week of classes and I had two finals today), so I just couldn't find the time to post anything.
When I came to Philly six weeks ago to take more classes, I didn't expect this to be the experience it has been. I met someone who has seriously affected the way I view myself, the way I think about the decisions I make, the people I interact with it, and helped me get a better understanding of what I want to do in the future.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not clear about any of these things. In fact, if anything, I'm more confused than ever. I have no clue as to what it is I should or will be doing. So many things interest me and every day, with every new thing I learn, I realize how little I know and how much there is to learn in the world.
The thought of how little I know, and therefore the potential of how much there is out there for me to still learn even brought me to tears today. I really hope that I manage to stay this curious, and stay this thirsty for knowledge. I hope to travel and see the entire world. I want to interact with people who are different than me, people who can teach me something, instead of people that I'm confident with interacting and have interacted with all my life. I want to be challenged, and I want to be confused, and I want to have questions that will keep me busy as I try finding answers to, and I want to make mistakes (hopefully not significantly severe ones and hopefully not too many) and try and fix them. I want to be with people who will add a meaning to my life, and stay away from those who won't.
I don't think this is too much to ask, and I really hope I can get all of these things.
The World is a fascinating place. That's what my teacher kept saying this semester.
"The World is a fascinating place."
I think so too.
