Hello and Welcome Back to another episode of SB Chime!
Today is another day where we don't know where this will lead.
Recently I have been eating roughly the same diet daily and my life is starting to become formed by my weekly habits.
Wednesdays are for dancing. Dancing is something I have been naturally drawn to for as long as I can remember. Even as a child, I was in ballet at five years of age. Leaping across the Walnut Creek Concert Hall, I was in Swan Lake. I travelled to that concert hall what seemed to be often. Another time for an art exhibit they were hosting in the ground floor. I was with my classmates in elementary school. I'm not sure what the importance of the event was for me, but it definitely left me with a sense of awe. Perhaps because I was exploring somewhere uniquely personal with a different region of my life: schooling. The line between friends and family for some people can be obscured, and I am no different.Some of my closest relationships have been friendships. Especially in the later part of high school. I was couch surfing for most of senior year because my Mom's house wasn't was I was used to and not really what I wanted as a home. My stepdad was an alcoholic and living in a new home with them was a trippy experience. I spent my weeks at school, at friends houses, at Water Polo or Swim Practice, and my weekends with friends from the bay area, my girlfriend at the time, and working at a local BBQ restaurant.
What a year! I grew so much as an individual and found myself thriving in the community. I had a 4.8 in school and was successful socially so felt like there was nothing I could not do. Freshman year of college really fueled my ego. Girls everywhere and I was the center of my social groups. I found my value in the relationships I help with people in quality, but mostly quantity.
The first time I ever found myself alone was Sophomore year of College. Well, sort of alone. I still had friends through work and from around the Bay Area. At least my living space was alone, and I wasn't seeing people daily for the first time in years. Probably since the sixth grade. The time made me extremely introspective. It was the first time I was living in my head for extended periods of time. I found that I am hard working, routine based, and find value in keeping myself healthy. I like to explore the metaphysical disciplines, read, and ideate.
I am a thinker, organizer, social connector. I am excited to grow out my strengths.
Until next time!
