Journals. I enjoy writing in my journal, it is very therapeutic. I don't mean the kind of journal where I write out a daily synopsis of what happened, but the kind where I actually write out what's going on in my head. But I seldom write in my journal, why? Maybe because taking the time to sit and write it out seems so tedious, I can type 5 times faster than I write. But someone once told me that you should always handwrite your journal because it preserves your handwriting and future generations will treasure it. I never much fancied my handwriting...
Bad habits. Have you ever "discovered" a bad habit, but not wanted to change it even though you know it is ultimately hurting you? Why is that?
Work. I am tired of being in school, but I want the degree and the job that comes with it. I spent a lot of time today looking into other programs and universities trying to find a way to get done faster, to get out of the work ahead. I often tell the high school students, "If you would spend half the amount of energy that you spend trying to get out of your work, on actually doing your work, you would be done by now." Maybe I need a dose of my own poison.
Dreams. "Each of us has an inner dream that we can unfold if we will just have the courage to admit what it is. And the faith to trust our own admission. The admitting is often very difficult." Is that true? Do I even know what my dream is? I think so, but I get confused sometimes.
Maybe all of these seemingly random thoughts are really connected. One affecting the other like the perfect strands of an intricate spider web. Touch one and the whole web vibrates. Break one and the entire web becomes loose and deformed.

good post. I need to take the advice also of spending my energy getting things done instead of spending it to avoid those things.
