Sometimes you just have to move.

"So...Be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'shae, Your off to great places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So get on your way!." - Dr. Suess


I have always really hated the phrase "just do it." I guess, to be fair, i dont hate the phrase as much as i hate the way people say it. Whenever you hear someone say "just do it" it is usually in a "what's your problem? why is this so hard for you?" type of tone. Now i understand that this is not always the case but i feel like it is a large percent of the time. I have come across very few situation in life that are easy enough to "just do it." thing's are not that simple. Maybe it is just me, maybe i make things too complicated or maybe i just think to much, whatever the reason i can never seem to just do something. Take College for example, it has taken me almost a year to decide that it was something i wanted to do, and even now i haven't yet decided what it is in College i want to pursue. Some people might see this as irrisponsible "you should have this figured out" might be their retort, but i dont, i dont have it figured out. Now if you know me well you know that i am not one to go into something blind. I am the kind of person who wants to know EXACTLY what im getting myself into. Where to begin, how to get there, where to end...these are all things i think to death before i make any sort of decision. One of the hardest things for me when i was signing up for school was the fact that i dont know yet what im majoring in. Sure, i have an idea and i know part of it, but i haven't got the whole thing mapped out it my head yet. For the first time in my life im just doing something, and to be completely honest it scars the heck out of me. First, because it has completly taken me out of my "everything has to be planed" comfort zone, and second, because it has forced me to live the very phrase i hate, which has been a stuggle unto its self. But i have also come to a second conclusion. That as much as i might dislike the phrase "just do it" it, in some cases, might be the right step to take. Sometimes we just have to put on our life jacket and jump, because if we dont we might end up standing in the same place forever. So i have made a decision. For the next little while of my life i am just going to put one foot in front of the other and just do it. That way, even if i go in the wrong direction for a while and have to make a u turn, at least i will be going somewhere.
