There’s no doubt that I have been struggling with blogging.
I think some of it is I don’t have much to write about (I run, bike, eat and
drink beer and sometimes play with Legos) but maybe even more so I am just
feeling like I am having a blogging (or blogger) identity crisis. I guess that’s
the thing, when you don’t have a ‘theme’ for a blog that freedom it allows you
can also hinder you due to lack of direction. That’s kind of where my head is at now. So, in
order to try and continue writing regularly I am going to bring back
Thought-Provoking Thursdays and hope that I can find some inspiration that will carry
into blogging on other days.
This week I am starting with five questions from this post:
50 Questions That Will Free Your Mind from Mark and Angel Hack Life.
How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?
I think I would be 30. I am 36, for those who don’t know,
and most days I don’t feel 36, although I am not really sure what 36 should feel like. But if I didn’t know my actual age and I was
trying to approximate my age off of societal norms I would say definitely older
than early 20’s because I have a car payment and student loans but definitely
younger than 36 because I am single (meaning unmarried) and have no kids. I definitely think I feel like an adult with
adult responsibilities but at the same time I feel quite young because I do
have an untethered lifestyle and then adult again since I have a real job with
disposable income so…yeah, 30.
Which is worse, failing or never trying?
Never trying. Hands down. That is where regret comes from.
Failure is a learning experience, a chance for growth. Never trying leads
to stagnation. And I never would want my
life to be stagnant.
If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t
like and like so many things we don’t do?
I really wish I knew the answer to this. Wouldn’t we
all be happier filling our days doing things we love? My guess would be that we
let fear prevent us from spending more time doing what we love. I know it is
for me. Fear of stepping into the unknown, leaving financial security behind. I
see many others do it, so I know it is possible but for me there is that really
big WHAT IF holding me back. I’d like to think that one day I will feel
comfortable enough to make a big life change and start building the life I really
want but I know that comfortable day will never come, it just never happens that way. Honestly, I am just
waiting for the day I grow a pair and finally push myself forward, into the
unknown.
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than
you’ve done?
Gosh, I hope not. I really hope that in the end my life was
spent doing and not just talking/thinking about doing. But as you read
above, I am still in the thinking stage. Although, in my defense I do think I
have done a fair amount of doing, too. I try not to wish my life away and instead
take advantage of every opportunity that comes about. But still, I find myself not ready yet
to make the big changes.
What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the
world?
This is a really tough one because there are so many
injustices. Can I say I would like to get rid of ‘-ism’s; racism, sexism, ageism,
sizeism (is that even a word?) and create a world filled with accepting and
loving minds all willing to help their fellow man up, not beat him down.
Equality everywhere. That would
definitely be a really good starting point.
Ok, well that wraps up this week’s installment. If you had to answer these questions what
would you say?
Love and hugs,
Dacia
