Jenna's House of Idiosyncrasies Version 10.0 [Focus.]

Sometimes I Wonder...

October 11, 2003 - 1:00am

...why I do the things I do.

Like right now. I'm getting up early tomorrow, being a good art student and going outside in the morning light to work on my perspective drawing (the shadows will only be any good between about 10:00 and 11:30). I could've/should've gone to bed about an hour ago. But for whatever reason, I feel like I'm staying up just to be up.

Or in a broader sense, why am I in art school at all? Is it by default, because I can't come up with anything better? Am I supposed to be burning with a fiery unpredictable passion or is it really enough to just try and do good work?

My life lately is feeling like one of those Choose Your Own Adventure books: When you start it seemless like there are endless possibilities but in reality your choices are limited and you always end up in the same place time after time.

Wow, I am so dating myself with that metaphor.

10. No time for poetry but exactly what is

Don't let it get you too down sweetie.I know how you feel, except in a slightly different sense. Just remember, you're not alone on this.

You should always be passionate about everything you do. That's how you find beauty in all the small things. How else would I get through the day?
