Vortexia's Secret

Yes, i make up my own words from time to time. i also make up my own analogies on occasion. thus, the perfect word to address both words... analogizing.

to try and lead somebody through a practice that is routine to you yet entirely foreign to another is like pulling your fallen partner for the 3-legged race behind you to the finish line. it is a painful endeavor for both parties... for you because you feel like you're pulling dead weight, and for your partner because their ass is getting pulled through grass and mud as they get bruised and bloody. ok, a little morbid there... anyway. i have always been one to think ahead into the future. to plan. to figure out what i'm going to do and then go full steam ahead to achieve it. although i don't usually write out goals, i have the goals and the game plan all set up in my head. this practice is apparently foreign to some. for example, some people expect life to magically fall into place within a rough time frame with little to no planning. they may work towards some aspects, neglect others, and delay others indefinitely when it isn't fun. looking for a job isn't fun, saving money isn't fun, growing up isn't fun. i'll agree... i don't enjoy this stuff either, but it gets done. i sat my ass down in the computer chair yesterday afternoon and started researching lenders to get the best deal on my student loan. not fun, but necessary. it's frustrating to see a person you know keep the same goals for several years and never make the first step toward reaching them. it's hard for me to understand. i definitely know that we all have our faults, and i can be prone to this (and major procrastination issues!) as well, but not to that extent. at some point, you have to get sick enough of the stage you're in to decide to move forward. i do at least. being stagnant and waiting isn't fun at a certain point either. anyway, this is the frustration i faced tonight. and i shared it because, well, i needed to. missing the visitors and the commentage. suggestions to keep you coming back? advice, comments, random thoughts? i know we're all busy right now... ~nothin but love, baby!

P.S. Keep them in your prayers.
