Of books and fears
I am somehow equally afraid of success as I am of failure. I am afraid that if I fail everything I believe about myself is true. I am afraid of success because it is an unknown. If I succeed I have no idea what my life will look like. The feeling is much like diving … Continue reading Of books and fears
Where is this going?
Last night C and I got into a bit of an argument. Nothing to worry about and nothing that wasn't resolved. I have been having an internal struggle that I have been projecting onto him.

You check it when you wake up, you check it throughout the day, you check it before you go to bed, just in case. Every text message, every email, could be an … Continue reading Living in fear
What life means to me
It seems that as we get closer and closer to our goal I realize more and more about what we are doing and why we are doing it. At first it started out as us wanting to finally be self sufficient. We are at a place in our lives where we can't be living like … Continue reading What life means to me
