I always get caught off guard when people use the phrase "getting ready for the real world" when talking about getting ready to graduate from college, yet I always find myself doing the same thing.
But I am in the real world. The college years, however long they might last, are times in your (and my) real life. I'm really alive, I'm really here, and I'm really doing this.
I don't necessarily want to be in college for the rest of my life, but does graduating from college all of a sudden mean I'm suppose to be serious and stuffy? Does it mean that I'm not suppose to take chances or go on adventures?
I want to create my life with the flexibility for adventure, rest, reflection, relaxation, and risk. I want to continue learning, I want to affect people in a positive way, do something meaningful, and I want my life to have meaning.
I don't want to be predictable. Spontaneous is such a better word anyhow. Let's all be spontaneous and embrace change.
Let's challenge ourselves and indulge when appropriate.
Let's do things that we want to do and what feels good to us (as long as they don't negatively affect others or ourselves).
Let's fall in love again.
I want to live a life full of gluttony and excess. Full of love and light. Mitzvahs, greatness, and excitement. Full of change and hope.
I want to bring as much light into the world as I possibly can and inspire and encourage others to do so as well.
