So, I feel as though I haven't had a chance to be creative and pursue my interests rather than school mandated work recently. Don't get me wrong, I am excited to teach and I know it will all be worth it in the end, it just saddens me that I feel as though I haven't been able to really write in a long time.
My friend has been talking about taking a year off after he graduates to just write. I am envious every time I hear him mention it. I have such a hunger for taking time and creating whatever comes into my head. So often, life just gets in the way of what is going on in my subconscious.
My friend said something tonight that made me think. It was something like, "I want to see what I can produce when I put my all into writing because right now I am producing what I think is pretty good stuff. I'd like to see what I can come up with when I don't just write when I don't have time." Now that wasn't exactly word-for-word what he said, but it just got me thinking.
What would happen if I didn't have to get through life before I could sit down and write my heart out? What if I could just grab a journal and a pen anytime the muses shine down on me? (Okay, I don't really have "muses" but you get the point ...) How many ideas are lost because when they come to me, I am in the middle of something "more important" and cannot entertain it?
Well, that's it. I just wanted to get that out there =).
