I wrote this on a Whim... And I'm not too sure why. It made me begin to think why anyone starts anything on any given day of the week. For me, I was caught up today in my own whimsical thoughts. As I spent the past two days updating resumes and seeking new jobs, new cities, new everything , I started realizing that maybe Whim is why.

I've been watching videos of the lives of those a few decades ahead of me and wonder how they achieved the cozy little homes and the walls full of books and wonder I so desperately want. I balance the worth in my head between my degrees, the jobs, how much they pay, how much the life I want costs, how much I need, need, need. As I juggle these numbers up and around in my mind, my little world of whimsy turns grey and cold. I realize in my pursuit of the whimsical life I so desperately want, I sell my whimsy in...
