Certainly not laziness, and far from rampant irresponsibility, I've finally listened to some good advice and made the move to re-prioritize my daily routine.
As we all know, you can't run on all cylinders all the time, which is exactly what I've been doing for the better part of the past 16 months. More specifically, the amount of hours I've been working in the evening, coupled with the hours I've been spending at the University, have left very few hours in the day for pretty much anything else. So you know what, I'm staying home this evening, and I couldn't be happier!
Quite frankly, I've been working my ass off, and it's time to re-charge the ol' mind and body. I've been successful, academically, like I haven't been in years, and it's still something I haven't allowed myself to get comfortable with. Far too often I'll concentrate on the time and money I've invested/wasted on my post-secondary education, or poor decisions I've made in the past, and those negative thoughts will overshadow anything else I'm thinking or doing. That negativity is a big ball of B.S. and I refuse to let past failure define who I am - it's the exception, not the rule.
It may seem like I've veered off the initial point of this post, but it's all quite interconnected. I get down on myself so much for past screw-ups that it dictates how I act in the present and plan for the future, preventing myself from noticing that, Hell, I'm actually doing quite well for myself.
So in lieu of my successes, I'm going to relax, slow down, stop worrying that things won't work out, because whether you're noticing or not, they certainly find a way to.
Currently: Searching online for some lamb recipes...never made lamb before.
