5-Minute Friday time! ... where you just write for five minutes without worrying whether it's just right or not. I'm linking up with the Gypsy Mama for today's topic: In Real Life
Go.
Just yesterday I told a friend that I’ve really been concentrating on living my life on purpose. Choosing on purpose what I do with my time…what books I read, what television I watch, what friends I have. In July, after a year of watching nothing but 24 episodes on DVD and taking care of babies, I found myself discouraged and disgusted with what I was doing with my life. No wonder I was disgruntled. As thrilling as living through Jack Bauer’s life was, it was no living…not really. It wasn’t real.
So now, I’m living on purpose…really living…living real. I want my experiences to be with real people, with real feelings. I want real memories and to be able to tell real stories over the dinner table. I’m done with wasting breath in front of the television. I want to go to bed every night tired….tired from really living. From really laughing…from really crying…from really experiencing. I want to be tired from real life…from living real.
Stop.
