There are many things that need to move
Many things that have movement built right into their genetic code
Grasshoppers
Butterflies
I guess bugs in general
People
Foxes
Basically anything that has breath has to move
But even plants move in the wind
The real nut I'm trying to crack here is the truth that
Everything must move
Mentally, we must move
Physically, we've got to get out and about
Psychologically, if we don't move its called going crazy
Nostalgically, we have to live in the present and not stay stuck in the past
It's been a long time since I've written, not sure if anyone even reads this anymore
But I'm so struck by how fast the world is moving
If you don't move a long with it,
You are already stuck in the past
I don't want to be "that guy"
But I don't want to change just to change
I wan't to change because the change is good
Here is a good example:
My favorite bands used to be
Switchfoot
Relient K
And I still really like them, I think they are talented musicians and I want to support them
But I've branched out
Found new tunes that inspire me just as much or more
But I still talk about those bands as though they are all I listen to
Even tho I may not have listened to them in a long time
Why do I do that?
I think, perhaps, I'm not moving as much as I think
My senses are moving into adulthood
My social life is moving, more or less, into a more
John Hoehn state
But my long terms memories are still occupying a lot of my brain
And they seem to be stuck
Stuck Stuck stuck
stuck
Yuck
Maybe I need to do something big again
To remind me what moving feels like
That's a big reason I got a tattoo
I needed the reminder that I am an adult
And My life choices aren't made for me anymore
Which is both a freedom and a responsibility
Freedom to define myself
Freedom to do what I want in my leisure time
Freedom to go where I want
Responsibility to keep myself alive
Responsibility to look out for my future and those who will inevitably come into my future
Responsibility to present myself in a reputable way
That freedom to define myself is what's catching me right now
I don't know what I want John Justus Angelo Hoehn to be
I want people to think something when they hear that name
But heck, I've got to give them a reason, don't I?
Certainly
Now just to decide what that is ;)
