Fly From the Nest

I've recently been attracted to the concept of living organically: being natural, being in the moment, and following my heart. At the soul of this idea is what I call "flying from the nest." All baby birds must spread their wings at some point, and each day I want to try and spread mine.

Permalink Tonight I watched North & South for the first time. In the final scene, I started crying.  And then realized I was bawling.  I completely broke down.  I said things out loud I dare not let myself think. I am afraid of being alone forever.  I am terrified of having only my work for the rest of my life.  I’ve worked hard and deprived myself to get where I am.  I don’t want to continue to restrict my life and focus on school and the future, because I’m afraid my work is all I’ll ever have. I turn twenty in less than a week.  I’ve never loved.  My life has been defined by my work ethic and accomplishments.  And in these moments at the end of this film, I couldn’t stop myself from believing that is all I will ever have to define me.

I have often observed that resignation is never so perfect as when the blessing denied begins to lose somewhat of its value in our estimation.

Sometimes I can’t believe my life

The coincidence

The timing

I find such entertainment
