What does it mean to be focused? Lately, my mind has been running all around, it's frustrating! It is only the second week of February 2011 and I already feel love in the air. Time has gone by so fast, on account of how far I've gotten since the start of this whole school year. I have met quite a number of people in the small number of months that it has been 2011, and I'm stoked. Can you guys believe it's already February of 2011? I'm barely adjusting to writing 2011 as the dates on my papers! I always heard that things go by fast, but it wasn't until now that I'm starting to see it. I don't think are as much of a blur anymore, because although things are pasting by quick, it seems like they are on a slow motion. I am able to see what is going on by me day by day and I'm able to put faces on these empty figures that used to surround me. Things are getting good. I'm surrounded by a great group of people and I'm happy for that. I can't really ask for more. Sometimes things are such a blur to you that you won't have a clue what is going and you just keep going. I'm now learning that the best way to go throughout my days are by taking at least one step back and seeing my life from afar. This is the only way of actually being conscious of your actions and what they are causing. Every now and then I realize how I know this and have realized so many things about myself, and I feel fortunate. I know that I have at least, just a bit of hope for myself in the future. I just have to learn to grasp that concept.
