275 Days

A lot has happened in the last 275 days. In no specific order, I grew my beard to the longest it’s been in my entire life, I celebrated my 33rd birthday, I’ve traveled, ate some amazing food (and some not so amazing), met some amazing people, lost touch with some as well, hiked, watched great movies (and some bad ones, too), loved more than most, thought of the future, remembered the past, and stopped updating this blog.

I’d like to blame it on life “getting busy”, as it tends to do, but what it really boils down to is priorities and lack of discipline. In the end if I truly wanted to update this blog, I would have. Don’t get me wrong, I had every intention of updating it, but through the last 275 days I’ve learned that intention is only a minor piece of it all. You can have the best intentions in the world, but if you don’t take the time to put in the work, no matter what it is, then nothing will get done. Simple as that.

In the end I guess what you have to ask yourself is if what you want to do is worth putting in that work. If not, there’s no sense in bogging your life down with a pile of stuff you “intend” to do but never take the time to. Cut it and focus on the things that you DO want to do. The things that make you happy. Time is a finite resource. Stop wasting it on things that don’t matter.

As for this blog, it IS worth it to me.
