It's crazy how I feel like I've learned so much about myself in the past few days. I feel a lot more secure, and safe and happy. Maybe this is just my transitional phase of getting used to college. I guess I just needed some sort of catalyst to get my brain working the way it's supposed to work here. I need to remember to not look to the end of the bus ride, but to the time spent on the bus. If you don't really get what I'm saying, it has to do with a field trip I went on today, hence this tweet:
I'm the kid who likes field trips for the bus ride. #itsthejourney
And what's interesting is I thought of this before I found the video. I mean, it's just a cool connection to make in life where something is strangely, symbolically significant to you. It's really cool looking for symbolism. Whether it be in a song you just heard and relating it to yourself (see a few posts back) or just analyzing a situation and realizing it has a bigger, more significant meaning in life. Another example is this picture that I took:
How I analyzed this:
The child on the right is the curious one, exploring the white balloon and putting herself out there, willing to take the risk just to experience the world and see more. The child on the left is hiding from what is out there, she refuses to leave her safe zone because she's afraid. She's afraid of what COULD hurt her, but the child on the right has decided that the risk is worth the reward. Obviously we should all strive to be like the child on the right, else we would get nowhere in life.
Let me leave you with this: Find the deeper meaning in life however you choose to do so. Whether it be faith or religion or science or philosophy - it's your choice. Just don't let anyone else influence you - you're on your own.
