On Being a 29 Year Old
Posted on March 10, 2010 with 0 commentsSo I am 29 now. I didn't manage to make any money for the Nature Conservancy but I was reminded that I have more friends than I can count on my fingers. I want to thank everyone for their well wishes.
I have been putting a lot of time lately learning Norwegian. I really enjoy learning a new language because it is rewarding; the more you speak it the better you become at thinking with in. Regardless of the rewards and any enjoyment I get out of the learning process, I still fight with the procrastinator in me every day. It seems so contradictory to love learning yet fight it with such trickery. Ah, but my senses will win!
I think procrastination is a good subject to juxtapose with depression as they play off of each other and begin validating each other. When I am depressed and am thinking without the awareness that I am thinking in a depressed mind I tend to put off projects because I feel tired and heavy, or perhaps even ask myself what the point is.
