The Real and Ideal

by S. Koivu

Rated: 13+ · Book · Sports · #1343724

This is me rambling on and on about...whatever I feel like. Nice, eh?

I've always wanted a blog. I hope I can actually keep it up, and make it as interesting as possible for the readers. Sorry if I am failing miserably at either of those things.
**Hope you like hockey. Then again...how could you not? 8>)

Keep it up!
Oppertunity presents itself
in hidden ways.
It's stealthy and quiet
as it tries to sneak past.
Seldom does it jump out at you.

There nothing wrong with finding inspiration in the writing of others.

In response to "Five Golden Rings?!"

Just some comments on the entire blog to date. Your thoughts and concerns are IMHO ones that all people share. Your expression of these in your blog are well written, detailed, and so come through clearly. Your doubts, fears, excitement, hope, etc and your questions and insites about other people are real to you as they are (again, IMHO) to all.
I just want you to know that you should keep exploring via your blog, it probably helps you figure things out... I used to do that when younger (wanted to be a creative writer, but could only be 'creative' when under a teacher's deadline :) . I kept my high school writings and enjoy them today - better than a photograph! Do me a favor and don't wait until you are 40ish to stop wondering if what you want to do or what you think is right or wrong - especially in the eyes of others! Be yourself and let go of your worries; it might bite you sometimes, but you won't regret it overall. Everyone in this world has psycological issues - the older you get and the more you express yourself, the more you will learn that others are just like you, but in their own way... The quiet kid in the corner during lunch or the Jock in the Jacket hanging with the "A" crowd - are all the same in the end; things just happen at different time for different people - pain, success, doubts etc get everyone the same at some point. My point is don't wait to realize it, be free and try to 'open up' and do your own thing now before you are old and finally realized that most of life is just plain silly (in good and bad ways :) and the stress you feel is most often (always in my new opinion) self induced. Let go... I say it here, but can I live up to it now as well??? trying ;) Another thing; psych 101, like most classes, is relatively boring and too high level, but take it to do 102 and 103 - for different subjects too - it gets more interesting as you learn more and figure out what to do in life. Last thing: look at everyone and realize that behind their white picket fence, they are really somewhat insane (in good and bad ways) just as you and I are... it makes life easier to deal with ;) Keep writing! You'll make it!
