Let's Take a Drive...

Shaking the box again.

I think this is the third attempt at a greetings, and still nothing.

I think the angry streak has broken and I'm back to having nothing to talk about. I'm sure if I was still living in the dorms there would be plenty of drama to pull from. Sadly, that's no longer the case. It's really hard to find things to talk about in an apartment of six where we all get along really well.

This weekend one of my apart-mates friends from back home came down to visit. On the surface that doesn't sound like much. The decision was made on sheer impulse and they showed up at our door at about 1:30 in the morning.

That's where this leaves us.

Impulse.

Impulse is defined as "sudden,involuntary inclination prompting to action".

After the weekend adventure of the mysterious group of individuals who drove five hours down, stayed for maybe eight, and drove back another five hours, I've been thinking: is it good?

Is it a good thing to be impulsive? To do what you want, when you want, and worry about the consequences after? Would this world be better if we were all a bit more impulsive?

I for one would like to be a bit more impulsive. If I were more impulsive my one attempt at a relationship probably wouldn't have ended in ruin.

Maybe the world would be a bit better if we worked on thinking less and acting more. But, the world wouldn't be perfect if we abandoned rational thinking all together. There's a fine line between being emotional and being rational, and it's a thin line to walk.

I'd like to think that I do think on impulse, I definitely speak impulsively. But I know that I'm not. I over think things to the level where I feel like I've missed out on telling people things that I know now I will never get to say. It troubles me, but I find it hard to push down that rational part of myself.

Let's try, however.

Let's try to find the balance together.
