It's Been A While...

I know it's been like two weeks since I've posted, but I had some important swim meets I had to train for. But swimming's over now, so expect one post a week.

I've been thinking about the whole grand scheme of life. Why is it that we search and search, but can't seem to find true happiness? A couple months ago I was struggling with my swimming times and could be satisfied until I beat them. It makes one think that walls are put up for a reason. But I broke through those walls. I found that there was no where to go, but up from here. And I like that feeling a lot more than the depression of having that wall there. I was talking to a friend about how we've been single for over a year and he asked if "it was okay that he enjoyed the loneliness." I think that while the feeling of being alone sucks, we've become adjusted to a life where we don't wait on girls and we just do whatever we want. Sure, the first couple months alone are depressing, but after a while, it's liberating.

I've been single since a month after my grandmother died. Sure, I've liked other girls, but I've learned what I need to be happy in life: family, friends, God, and a good book. At this point in my life, a relationship is optional. I've got so much I plan to do in my life, that I need a head start, and life is far too short to just hop from relationship to relationship. I've planned to life every day like it is my last and live without regret. I think that if a lot more people lived like this, we'd all be a little happier. I've got loads of stories to tell, and even more to write.

I'm done for now. In retrospect, that seemed like a post where I just rambled incoherently about nothing in particular. Story of my life I guess.
