Thinking in Inspiration

I've been sitting in the library for about 2 hours now looking at inspiring quotes. Apparently it's my new hobby because that's all I seem to be doing.

I'm in a good place right now. I'm stressed just about everyday, but that IS the life of a college student and I have homework to get done. BUT it's amazing how at ease I feel with myself at this moment. That's what I love about reading quotes because it reminds you that no one is living your life but YOURSELF, and you can do whatever the hell you want. So what is stopping us? This is my new perspective on things, what I want to live by. I feel like every single person I look up to has not gotten where they are by staying in the tightly sealed box that society expects us to live in. They are creative and thing OUTSIDE this box.

My perspective on things has changed since I've come back to college. First things first is I don't have a crush on any specific guy, which means that I'm not out to impress anyone. I get up every morning and think about how I want to look that day. If it's no make up and sweat pants, so be it! I'm not looking for someone to spend the rest of my life with right now, I'm too ambitious for that. It's so relieving that I can't really put it into creative words. It's just simple. I'm making myself happy before I can make anyone else happy. Another thing I'm trying to work on is figuring out what I want to go to school for. I've been considering taking a semester off or maybe I just need to explore my options a little more closely! It's either makeup or writing, so there isn't really a big range of decisions there. Even though the ultimate decision is the catch.

Another thing I want to do is explore different religions. What's the harm in that? I need to work at what makes me happy and if I can find a religion that doesn't base it's beliefs with judgements then I'll be headed towards the right direction.

Today I feel like I'm getting a fresh start. And who knows, tomorrow I may backtrack, but right now I'm going to enjoy this feeling of being free. I'm ready to work towards my happiness because one of the quotes I read today was

"Happiness is not a destination, it's a way of life."
