Quote

"Furthermore, we have not even to risk the adventure alone, for the heroes of all time have gone before us. The labyrinth is thoroughly known; we have only to follow the thread of the hero path. And where we we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god; where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves; where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence; and where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world."
- Joseph Campbell, "A Hero with a Thousand Faces"

What Now?

I am less than a week old in my post-college graduate years.

So when do I go back to school?

Okay. I admit it. This is scary. Everyone is thinking it and this might be stating the obvious. The real world, full of responsibilities, pressures, loss, gain, constant change, is a place I had mentally been putting off being a member of. (Ew, I just ended a sentence with a preposition). Though, the scariest part would have to be the uncertainty of whether or not I will ever see those who I have come to love. In case any of you did not already know, my wannabe standoffish persona hides a deep connection to people. Without those people, those rocks, I tend to fall apart. Two nights ago saw a freak out moment. On the plus side, looking to the future now seems to be decorated with random streetlights - the kind that turn on and off as they see fit - instead of shrouded in complete darkness. Is that a little cynical? I have been watching House for a few hours. Fine, you caught me, more than a few hours.

Time to get a job, and get off this blog.

Til next time...

  1. You do realize that this streetlight comment means I ust remind you of one of my favorite songs by joshua radin...Streetlight!


    I'll wait for something under a streetlight

    It won't be long

    Because it's dark it's cold

    It's one of those nights

    It's one of those nights where

    There's something out there

    Keeps me alive



    But I don't know where to go

    So I think I'll sit and stay here a while

    Till I figure it out



    So let the wind blow us

    To wherever it says

    We are supposed to go



    When you want something but can't name it

    It's under a streetlight

    It's something you've never seen before

    Open the door

    It's something you've always been afraid of

    It's under a streetlight

    And now all you want is more



    But don't know where to go

    So let the wind blow us

    To wherever it says

    We are supposed to go

    Let the wind blow us

    To wherever it says

    We are supposed to go



    I don't mind the wait it's fine

    As long as you know

    It's the wait that could be the something



    I don't know where to go

    So I think I'll sit and stay here a while

    Till I figure it out



    So let the wind blow us

    To wherever it says

    We are supposed to go

    So let the wind blow us

    To wherever it says

    We are supposed to go

    We are supposed to go

    What number is that? :P
