"Turn the Page", as Bob Seger would say. Start anew...that's another cool thing about this "one page per day" concept...each time you type a new page, it's like a fresh new start, separate from whatever you might have written before, it truly is just in the past, done, finished, and now I'm just on to the new...reborn. It's 1:26 AM right now, and I still have to type up a paper for my Political Philosophy class, due by 1:25 PM tomorrow. Wonder if I'll just end up skipping my beloved Journalism class to give myself some added time to polish it and simply just finish it. Haven't even finished the essay I'm supposed to type it on actually. And yet...I feel quite calm right now. Content, even. While I have experienced quite a few setbacks, I'd have to say that overall I am making progress little by little, day by day, and am all the more resolute about constantly bettering myself, not giving up or reverting back to old unhealthy choi (HA...okay, I realize I am right smack "in medias res" here, but right at that moment my electric kettle began to boil over the top (which I did not realize could happen--lesson learned!), and the hot, boiling water proceeded to spill over onto my desk, centimeters from hitting my beloved iPhone and my [not-so-beloved] laptop I am currently typing on. I just find it even a little ironic for that to happen right at the subject I was in the middle of writing about, as I was talking about how resolute I'd become to not go back to bad habits, whatever, and here the kettle I [perhaps carelessly? Stupidly even?] filled to the brim begins pouring out, ready to further damage my electronics which are imperfect as it is. I'd like to make some witty "kettle" reference here, ("pot calling the kettle black" comes to mind--this is a white kettle we're talking about in this context). Upon double-checking what this saying means, it refers to "that you should not disparage another for the same behavior that you exhibit." I actually think that is an interesting, and [somewhat] relevant quote to be reminded of, even in this context. I feel like I have tended to do this very thing, and it seems to me to be referring to hypocrisy...maybe by my "resolution" to strive to be better and better, as I had basically last left off, could somehow be tied to that quote. Or maybe I'm just desperate to find meaning/answers in every little thing, but at the very least it is a creative connection. I guess I do still look down on others from time to time, probably for the very things in myself I have either been guilty of, or still am guilty of...things I constantly would like to change completely, but probably still have yet to change. Awesome causal inference there, Heather. Speaking of, I still have a political philosophy paper to write. Maybe I'll at least get some sort of start on it before passing out tonight.
