“If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” ~E.B. White
Apologies for the lack of blogging. Frankly, there's been nothing going on that's worth talking about. Neither is this, but I digress.
The above quote is pretty accurate for me. I have some sort of innate desire to help people. Seeing as I dislike most of them, I'm not really sure where this comes from, but we'll deal with that later.
I've been trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. Which can be heavy stuff for a sixteen year old, but I feel that I need to figure this stuff out sooner rather than later. It's proving difficult. I'm good at writing, I enjoy music, sure- but I want more than that from whatever I dedicate that much (ie. all) of my time to. I'm one of those sad, sad people that want to make a difference. And unfortunately that changes things.
I've been thinking politics, journalism, medicine, all of that stuff. And it's really hard to come up with new ideas. I want to change things, but I don't really know what it is that I want to change. Peoples' outlooks maybe, situations in general too- I don't know. So for the moment, I think child psychology. It's a start at least, but I'll want to do more. What exactly is more? I have no idea. We'll have to wait and see :)
