MLK Day

Everything was closed today, but that's cool. I must admit that I usually don't spend too much time thinking about the reason for a holiday, but today I did. Not enough people, black, white, or anybody for that matter considers what Martin Luther stood for. Most people just look at today as a chance to sit around or catch up on chores... which it kinda is, but I think it's good to spend atleast a few minutes thinking about it. Other than that, I did perform a few tasks today. I took a movie back to the store and I payed my phone bill... the library was closed though, so I couldn't work on my book report. I keep looking to the future though. Things are happening. Real things. Uncertain things from my perspective. I am not afraid though... I have a peace. This world I have come to know is full of confusion, frustration, and broken hope... I hate it all. It is a discovery that I've needed to make for quite some time. There are still things that I hold on to tightly though... Stuff that hurts to let go of. I have always immagined it to be like a piece of my body. I've lived with it all of my life, but now I have to let go, cut it off... and that hurts. I'm ready though. I'm ready for this week and I'm ready for whatever comes my way. It is hard to go against instinct and not worry about tomorrow, but that is the task that I must face. I must also become more patient. I am a very eager and charismatic person if caught in the right atmosphere... but I need to take peace at heart and patience. This will be a short journal, but I hope your week reveals something to you that stretches you beyond your current state. Peace and Love.
