The New Year...Here We Go Again!
Welcome back to the new school year! I’m just as excited to
be here as you are (hint: sarcasm exists). I guess I lied a little when I said
I was signing off for the last time in my previous blog post. Talking about the
past, having Mrs. Knudson yell “live in the present” as I walked out of my
second hour was not how I imagined Friday was going to go. I have to give her
credit though since the line haunted me enough to go back and watch Kung Fu
Panda at 1 am on Saturday. By the time Master Oogway finally got around to saying
his famous lines about the present being a gift, I was half asleep in a bowl of
ice cream.
That’s why we say “everyday is a new day”: it's another
chance to have that ideal day where not a single thing goes against what we
have determined to be perfect. It’s also why sayings like “the present is a
gift” sound so enticing (at least enough to end up on Pinterest boards). In our
mind, the present is the gift we give our past selves. A never-ending cycle of opportunity
reaching for something that we can never have.
We are all the more human for it, aren’t we? Because isn’t it a shared human flaw to always reach for things we cannot have? Or perhaps I’m just too sleepy to realize how out of the box my mind is being right now.
Signing off (for the first time this year),
Reality
Sucks
I can say this is very accurate and credible because Oogway and I are besties. we go way back
