I recently got wind of your posts and I thought I'd give them a look over. I'd have to say, I'm not exactly thrilled with what I'm reading...
Your "considerations" or what ever they may so aptly be named are a fool's errand; a fulsome charge that isn't thrilling enough to be an adventure, and it isn't daring enough to be rebellious. Really, you take up about 3/4 page discussing nonsense, nothing really at all. In my opinion, I think you are terrified of taking up a real subject, with substance, because you can't tell what it is you really want to say. If you are aware of this, I think it is time to make up your mind and actually do something; instead of just talking or thinking about doing something.
When I read your words--your putzing around in your own head--I am often left with the sense that you have a good perspective, maybe even good insight, but you analyze things to death: so that one avenue seem just as discouraging as the other. In other words: I think you are afraid to fail.
In all seriousness, I think for your generation this fear, or insecurity about failing started in instructional sports. It wasn't in the coaching, or the rules, this inept ability to deal with failure--with losing--came in the post-game celebration: everyone gets a Pacific Cooler and a pretzel rod. At the end of the season if your team finished dead last in the youth organizational league, you still got a trophy. In a way, you won even if you lost. I think your apprehension to take a direction, or define a purpose is a result of that; you strategically place yourself in a position where you cannot fail, but where you can't win either.
So now that you are wandering around in the (somewhat) real world, its apparent you can't cope with failure or even the idea of it. So next time you intend on posting another one of these aimless meanderings, keep in mind: it kind of seems like you are turning your blog into an online diary.
Best Regards,
Concerned for the Future
