Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

So even though it seems like I don't have much to talk about right now, I'm doing a journal anyway and see what flows to me. The reason I decided to start one in the first place was because of a sight that makes me feel at peace in Florida despite the humidity and terrible heat. The rain. Not just everyday rain, but rain falling as the sun still shines as it heads towards the west. Seeing it fall through the orange-gold light makes you feel a strange measure of serenity mixed in with a feeling that you've just witnessed something thats not everyday, something that life doesn't throw at you all the time. ^^ I suppose I'd call the emotion amazement. Its a nice feeling.

On another note, I'm finally able to say that I've found a drawing style that doesn't repulse me completely. sweatdrop For those of you that don't know, I'm a bit of an artist, even though I only started about two years ago. wink I've been told I'm not bad though. Lately I've been getting into the habit of drawing minor backrounds along with my sketches, which is quite a feat for me. I'm hoping that taking art in my highschool next year will further my abilities, so I can maybe make a living of my works one day. 3nodding Here's to hope.

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, and what I find popping up in my mind more and more often is that lifes to short. Theres so many things that I wanna do and learn and try like skydiving (no, you don't have to go Ni) or cello playing (a beautiful instrument, no?) and I just can't see myself doing all that. Then I realize that I could be working on that right now! All the time I've spent thinking about things, I could be planning them. Of course there's always things that I can't do at the moment, but I can always get better at my drawings or rock out to a cd. What I'm basically saying is that I've decided to take the age old saying to heart and start doing instead of thinking. ^^ And here's to initiative (or recklessness if you choose sweatdrop )So who's with me? biggrin
