convenience
(Warning: This blog may have been inspired by the lyrics of Dashboard Confessional...well not really but it is filled with emo-isms)
It was finally starting to feel like I had things figured out. But upon closer inspection, it looks like I live my life out of convenience.
I don't do the things I do because I want to do them. I do the things I do because that's the easy way to do them.
Maybe this isn't entirely true. But it feels like it. And that makes me unhappy. Really unhappy.
I want to live my life, not live under the curse of the golden arches.
I say that because McDonalds (to some capacity) defines my life. Fast food was where the desire for convenience originated. At least for me.
I feel like my findings require action. I need to live my life on purpose.
That sounds hard.
(I would like to mention that I am easily distracted, so I quit blogging to look at puppies)

i love you!
I like McDonald's....its a comfort food at times.
Heidi! Love this post; the honesty is refreshing. Good for you for cutting to the shit and being real - that alone takes a tonne of bravery.
Living on purpose - I like that sentence. And yes, it is hard. But just like living for convenience, it is nothing more than a pattern you set for yourself - a set of habits you form over time.
Eventually, you will be so busy living on purpose (and enjoying the fruit of it) that you will forget entirely what life was like before (or you'll remember it, with a shudder). Trust me (I had to learn this too) the present moments are so much better when you actually ENGAGE them.
