Let's rehearse; I've constructed everything in my empire to be everything I've wished it to be. I've gone from a state of emotional unbalance to a sustainable, calm way of living. When something doesn't quite go as I planned, the universe does, indeed, rearrange itself to best fit my needs but at it's own pace so I may have to wait a while. I've taken the art of the self-fulling prophecy and manipulated it as I see fit. Yet, I still have much to accomplish and the road ahead has not been paved entirely of gold. That manual labor I'll have to get on my knees and do myself as I've so naively figured out.
I've made it to San Diego and I've been having a wonderful time, no surprise there. I have great friends who I've grown to keep very close, kept good contact with my family, have a handful of units that will need to be plowed through. I've weeded out the bad plants of my past and my lawn is greener than ever with a few ruff patches; possibly where my newly adopted kittens have soiled it. Yep, Calypso&Fawkes are my newest additions and I've grown an inexplicable attachment to the pair of them. They make life "fun," in a responsible way.
I've started to outline my life in a series of Excel Spreadsheets, iPhone Reminders and a Wipe board calendar that is propped up in my new office; or my dad's old office rather. I am working for free but the man in charge; I crave the power more than the paycheck it seems. It may not be of monetary value to me but the learning experience I am getting has no dollar denomination. I've never been into the Hotel industry but having plunged head first into piles of boxed paperwork, I realize that with the time and effort I plan to put in, I might be the saving grace of this entire 12-year ordeal, even if I'm only here for a short while. But the big boulder in my way happens to be more based on my sex and possibly part of my age.
At this present time, I'm still finishing college. I'm a happy-go-lucky, spend daddy's money, do as I please, live life on the edge and party like a rockstar, capital D-I-V-A. And it suits me very well but when it comes time to buckling down and taking responsibility I feel like I pile onto my plate more than I can manage. So I'm stuck in a rut with dirt piling up to my waist and only a small shovel and my iPhone to guide me. Unfortunate as this may seem, this is how I like it. I build a challenge and watch myself struggle because it revives me. It's pushing yourself.
I've made countless To-Do Lists in the past and they all seem to evade me when they are most needed. Even now as I write, I stare at as freshly-made list on the coffee table from time to time knowing that I should put my laptop down and accomplish some of the tasks. How amazing it would feel to carry that check list to bed with me every night and reflect on all the checked boxes marked. A day's work done, a good night sleep ahead of me. But that will seldom happen. So here I start on another adventure of the To Do Checklist.
