The only thing to do is jump over the moon
Posted in Uncategorized on 11/19/2008 12:39 pm by Elizabeth KayleneI almost edited my previous post for this, but that post is a damn mess as it is.
In the past few weeks, I’ve been losing sense of control in my life. I’ve been feeling as if I couldn’t do anything I wanted to do, because everything seems to be getting in my way. Miss Britt wrote a post today about being alive, and I realized that I have been in my way.
To me, the song “Handlebars” (partially, because I’m aware of the political references as well) means being able to do anything you set your mind to. If I really want to continue my education and get my BA, I will. If I really want to get a novel published, I will. If I want to have my own web design business, as well, I will. If I want to move into my own place, I will. I can.
I look at Obama and I see a man who has come from virtually nothing — just like me. He has worked his way up through life, and all because he had the determination to do so. He is proof that anyone can achieve their dreams, no matter what the obstacles.

I want to see Rent live.

I think this is a great way to look at it, Elizabeth. Think positive, and focus on what you want–the way to get there might not be the way you expected to go, but you will find a way!

@Miss Britt: Good, feels like I’ve given you something back for your own post. (:
@Nikki: I did, and it was great! I think they’ve discontinued it, though.
By the way, I totally messed up the quote in the last sentence. I edited it now. I originally quoted Maureen as saying, “the only way to go is up,” when (as edited) she said, “the only way is up.” Oops.
@Claire: Thank you. It’s taken me way too long to see so.

@The Thought Hole: Done. Do you have a NaNoWriMo username I can also add?
21,000 is pretty good! I’ve seen people make comebacks from lower wordcounts, so it should be cake for you. (:
