The title is a quote from my new favourite film "Dead Poets Society".
I've became lazy. Simple as that and it's preventing me from living to my potential. It's the new year soon and i need to start thinking how to make 2012 the best year yet, i know who i want to be and how i want to live, i just need a little plan of action. In the summer i was confusing to whether i should be a free thinker, be happy but risk deep and utter loneliness or follow others to stay connected to those around me. I believed it had to be one of the two but i soon learnt that i was capable of being who i wanted and still being close to my friends even though they had no idea what i was going through. I've very much became fascinated with this idea of being and the possibility of true happiness i guess in the philosophical sense of Existentialism and at times when i search for meaning i'm faced with this debate of absurdity "Why, what is the point?" I believe that there is a point of being and it is heavily to do with our own beautiful and potentially creative meaning we as humans put into it. Sadly, many don't recognise that we have a choice and follow by uniform a robotic life and although i try to be free and true at times i forget/get lost and lose myself. I think this is the reason why i've been feeling a little lost and out of touch, i haven't really been trying to live truly as much as i know i could. Dead Poets Society reminding me that i have a passion for life and i should not give up on it and continue to do the things that make me happy even if it is separated from this popular culture/mainstream that is forced into our lives today.
I think i needed to rant a little... Now sleep, i'm so very tired!
