waiting for inspiration.

it is easy for me to do something when i am inspired. but if my heart isn't completely in something, it usually doesn't happen. in the same way, i don't often write until i feel inspired to do so. i seem to go through seasons where i write more. sometimes i just don't need to write. sometimes i can't write. sometimes it's as if i have too much to say.


right now? i have been thinking about a lot. thoughts and dreams are brewing in a disorganized and scattered kind of way. this is how my mind works. there are some things that are coming together, and there are other things that still need time. i will have much more to say about this in the time to come.


i am in the midst of [tentatively] planning out the next 1-2 years of my life. [do i officially qualify as a "grown-up" now? i'm really not sure.] i am excited to think about what i can do with my extra year of freedom from school, having graduated 4 quarters early! traveling and adventures are definitely in the works, including a trip to the mediterranean this fall and a trip to south america this winter!


in the mean time, i am resting. i have about 6 weeks until i start working on the boat, so i am taking this time to seek God, recharge, spend time with my family and friends, and plan for life and such. so far, so good!
