Classical free writing; wondering what the future holds.
I see possibilities hampered by a hermitage. But I also see happiness found through engagement.
Find your own way. Be motivated, but don't rely on others to make life great for you.
If you work hard, you will achieve what you seek. If you fail to get yourself moving, you will remain at a standstill.
The oracle is nothing more than your own wisdom. Your creativity is limitless. Your potential is always there. It is only your will that needs more strength.
Take this chance and wake up with a bright outlook. Commit to doing little things, and build up from there.
Get ahead of your readings. Read read read instead of consuming mindless media. Improve your social skills.
So many options. All you have to do is take them.

Be Alone
I'm skipping right ahead to Paramore's fourth and latest studio album, simply called Paramore, because there's a song I feel like describing that has to do with my current state of mind.
The song is called Be Alone, and as you might guess, it's about being alone. Not necessarily loneliness, mind you, but the mere fact of being on your own.
Queue the opening verses.
So what if I don't have,
A lot to talk about?
I shut my mouth and keep it,
Locked until it counts.
And what if I don't ever want,
To leave my house?
Stay on the couch while
All my friends are going out.
Such is my situation right now. It is Friday night. No doubt some of my friends are going out, and meanwhile I'm sitting on the La-Z-Boy, blogging, and waiting for Elder Scrolls Online to finish installing.
Wouldn't it be nice to be alone with someone, though? Does that even make sense? It sure does, according to Paramore. The chorus goes:
You should be alone,
Yeah, you should be alone,
You should be alone with me.
We could be alone,
Yeah, we could be alone,
But never get too lonely.
So maybe I'm not that lonely after all. I guess I'm alone with you, reader.
Among some of the rest of the lyrics, I find the following to be most illuminating:
See, I ain't one to climb
Some social ladder too.
Some Shangri-La
That all the cool kids will abuse.
This could be talking about society's obsession with upward mobility and abusing the system. I'm not quite sure.
Either way, I'm content with being on my own right now. But as weird as it sounds, I guess I'm never really totally alone when Lyra's around.
