Spring Cleaning: Are you sure of yourself?

I love this time of year. Everything crisp. Multitudes of cold Spring rain. You can always smell it, Spring that is. It is that time of year, another cleansing. Clearing out the closets. Changing up your style. It just feels like the right time of year to shift.

After a long Winter of reflection, it is a good time to reflect one more time. A final reflection before you activate your movement. Before action shifts from a more mental atmosphere. Sometimes your thoughts are soft and gentle. Sometimes they are hostile and rip at your old self. Have you noticed that people forget that creation is a violent process? It is lovely. It is majestic. It is painful. We must adapt. We haven't died yet, so we must adapt. There are no other options. Nature dictates this. Even if you only adapt a small amount, just to get by...you still must shift. That is why this time of year is so interesting. It represents a turning again.

So, why are you here? What is your goal? Why are you doing what you are doing right now? Are you happy? Are you proud? So many more questions waiting in the wings. All of this, this is the friction. This is what hides in Spring's shadows. The shadows hide what you don't want to see. Your shortcomings. The things that you find least tasteful about your character. We all have them. Are you really more egotistical than everyone thinks? Do you lie about who you are everyday and it just kills you? Or perhaps, does it not kill you to lie everyday. Something I've discovered about myself this past Winter is that I haven't asked enough questions.

Why? I always loved that question. For a while, I just stopped asking. I just wanted to be comfortable. But, the only thing constant is change. It turns you, even if you don't want to be turned. I think that's enough. It's just my thoughts on a screen. Black and white. It doesn't matter, because what is most important is not on this screen. It is 42. :) Or is it?
