Day 118 - 10/13/10

Meet me at my window. -Jack's Mannequin

This is has been my view for the past couple days. Studying for endless hours a day makes you miss certain things. Like enjoying the fresh air. All my preparation for my organic exam has forced me to be on the inside  looking out. I feel like sometimes I get caught situation. How do I really know what I am doing is right when I see others going along their lives? I guess it really comes down to the faith in myself. I have come to realize that people have their own paths to happiness. There really is no reason to feel peer pressure to follow anyone's path besides my own. Every person is unique. Life is as diverse as the people who live it. I feel that there are certain moments when it is beneficial to observe life from my own bubble. It is kind of liking taking notes in lecture. You get a survey of the overall theme. However, we shouldn't let our bubble restrict us either. I feel that you inevitably cheat yourself out of life's numerous opportunities by sheltering yourself. Life is an balance of give and take. I am certain in the end it all evens out.
