Thanks guys.  

life moves much faster than I thought it did.
it only seems like yesterday that I was throwing up a hat on a gym floor full of other people my age in celebration of graduation. never did I ever see myself being a sophomore in college so quickly.

I just got word that a girl from my high school was killed in a car crash this weekend, as well as a very similar tragedy happening during fall break.
in light of my thought of how fast life moves,
I find it a problem that I actually slow down and think of this after a tragedy such as these. 

I find it much easier to live life in a ‘blur’, much like the current life I am, yet I see that there is a problem in this, a complacency or apathy of sorts. 
as easy as it is to just live and not think about what I’m actually doing, there is a purpose and a reason to purposefully slow down and enjoy each and every moment. as cliche as it may be, tomorrow is not promised.

slow down, enjoy the little things as a wise old friend from the movie “Zombieland” once said.
be conscious in your efforts to enjoy your life and invest in those people who are a part of it: family, roommates, fraternity brothers, sorority sisters, girlfriends, boyfriends, classmates, church family, close friends, professors, mentors.  

life much moves faster than I want it to, and from now on I’ll be making an honest effort to enjoy it and the people I spend it with to its fullest.

an old friend asked me the other day who I was, and she said that I’m nothing like I used to be. it threw me off really bad when she asked me that, but I’ve changed a whole lot since high school. I didn’t really have an answer to the question if my identity, because I honestly don’t know who I am anymore, other than a broken dude just trying to live life according to the will of an infallible God and failing at it considerably much. the details fill themselves in after that basic description, and some of those details I’m not ok with. something has to change, where does it start?
