Writing

I find comfort in writing. Spilling my thoughts on paper (or a computer screen) just feels good. It has always been a goal of mine to write a book. I sit and write a few pages here and there and one day it will be complete. One day I will have something publiched. Maybe people will read it but I don't really care if people read it-I won't something published for me and maybe for my kids.

I was talking to a friend the other day and I have been thinking about the conversation since. We were in the car on our way to dinner when began explaining how there have been times in my life where I have felt that I am living just to exsist-that everyday seemed to be the same and that I wasn't really working toward anything. I was explaining that I didn't like living that way. She told me that she thought at least 80% of the human population lived that way-just to exsist. Is that true? And if it is true, is that okay? Are people happy iliving that way?

I love you to death Chelsea. I wish I could see you and talk to you everyday but alas, you are there and I am here, so your blog will have to do. :) To answer your question, I also think most people live that way. While I don't think you should ever settle in a "comfort zone of mediocrity" I think that there are some days when 'just getting through the day' is all you can do. And that is ok. But I think it's important to recognize the difference.
