Commitment

 I’m afraid of commitment. I guess that is true, now that I think about it. If I commit to something, I fully intend to follow through with it. On the other hand, that means that I am afraid to get out of my comfort zone because I am afraid that I won’t be able to follow through with anything. Speaking of which—church is one area where I should commit but have not been able to follow through. I might be able to chalk some of that up to the lack of commitment in other areas of my life. Maybe. In summary, I think that it would be a good thing for me to seek out more commitment. If things don’t work out because of other commitments, well, that’s probably still better than being under-committed.

In other news, last week was rough, and to recuperate (or rather, to revert to bad habits, or to seek out consolation in the wrong places), I have gone back to playing the cultivation simulator game. Hopefully the pit will not be as deep this time. I will also make provisions so that I have other things to do in the near future. I will talk to someone about being on the sub list tomorrow.

My goals for this week (Thursday-Saturday) are:

  • 2+ hours Spring/Java
  • 1 hour job search (3 x 20 minute bursts)
  • Adjust website to be more professional

I think these are reasonable goals. Perhaps they are more modest than they need to be, but I am excited about doing them, and they are working up to full-time job searching that will take place next week.

Escapism

I'm tired of doing things that have no significance. I'm tired of the escapism that sits at my doorstep and bounds inside at the sli...
