Dec. 7th, 2008 12:34 pmI haven't lost my mind to the holidays yet, though Gods know, they're trying their hardest. It's amazing how much of a difference something as simple as a day off can make, even if that day off is just being spent cleaning up around the apartment and getting laundry done. On Friday, the only things that I really "did" were to finish washing clothes and walk on down to the grocery store to get food and whatnot.
I find that I share some things in common with the philosophies of the anarchist, punk, and hacker communities, even if I'm not really a part of said communities myself. All thoughts on how information wants to be free aside, because that's a whole different post, I feel very assertive and in control of my own circumstances. It's been almost a year since I moved out on my own, and I think that I've grown quite a lot as a person, from learning to cook for myself to being independent enough to get around pretty much anywhere in the Portland area just using the bus and my feet.
I'm gaining some muscle definition in my arms and abdominal area, which is exciting. I feel stronger and more alert now that I'm eating better, drinking more water, and working out regularly, and am getting a little more sleep. So much of my life is truly my own now, and I feel fierce and independent, even as I learn from mistakes. I do things myself my own way, on my own time, and if I screw up, it's no one's fault but my own.
I grow my own flowers, set things up the way that I like them, and go traveling on my own time, with my own money. I plan, I fall in love, I go places, and my life is my own.
So, as a general note, just for my mood of late:
