It's Time to Move Along

How living in the present helps me move along

It's Time to Move Along
thelostsoulrises.files.wordpress.com

This will be my last article for the Odyssey platform. It's time to move on. I did enjoy my time here but there are things I don't necessarily like about it. I won't go into that because I feel you guys (the readers) don't need to know the specifics and I'm also grateful to this company and I don't want to shame it. That being said I will either write on my existing Blogger website or perhaps write on the website of Medium or Wordpress . Moving on, as my last entry here I want to talk about a relevant topic concerning this change of heart. I want to talk about how I live my life and perhaps encourage you to adopt my general philosophy and lifestyle. If not to convince you then just to inform you of how my mind works and you can gain a better understanding of me which is beneficial for me and my readers if we are to have a connection.

I'm very present-oriented. Which I know can be really hard for people in general and not just for millennials. A person either has their mind concentrated on the past, present, or future. Each of them has their positive and negative side effects but the most balanced would probably be the present-oriented mindset. In this state of mind, one can easily appreciate their surroundings and just overall current state of their life. A past-oriented person is prone to sadness for dwelling about the past and the future-oriented person is more likely to be anxious because of their overthinking of the future. That is why you want to be on that sweet spot in the middle and the now is actually what really matters because your life depends on what you do right this minute. It's quite an interesting concept but, for now, that is what I will leave you with. Secondly, it is important to do what you want! Be who you believe yourself to be. Do the things you want to do and not the things that are expected from you. Don't listen to people. Do what you feel is good for you. Your inner intuition is a powerful tool. Shut out all the haters. Don't compromise on a job you don't like. Don't go along with something just because your friends are doing it or the general public favors you doing it. Of course, all of this needs to be taken at a moderate level. I'm not telling you to live your life in anarchy. Don't hurt others by the actions you favor for yourself. Be wary of your situation and how it affects the people around you.

In my life, I left my job in the Events industry because I did not like the company I was working in anymore. I felt it wasn't being run efficiently and the company's organizational skills were severely lacking. It got to the point where it became way too frustrating when something would happen that could of easily be avoided if someone had done their job right. So I just ended up quitting. I left amicably with my superiors and explained to them how I felt. I was jobless for a month and then I took up a seasonal job. Once that was over I looked for other places to work. This was about a year ago and now I have two jobs and I'm making less money and working lower hours but you know what, I don't regret my decision at all. There was no way I was going to continue working at my Events job. It was one of the best decisions I have made. And this is what I was saying about doing what you want to do. Don't waste your life away at doing something that you don't enjoy or feel a sense of desperation of doing it. And once I'm not satisfied with my current jobs I will just move on to the next thing. This is the way I like living my life. Doing what I want. So I hope you join me in my creative endeavors wherever that next place may be.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
