Cold

A ripple for every moment

Frigid sky scattered here and there. Shadows watch mountains who are not easily scared. Snowflakes fall as time stands still, while sun's warmth trembles under the treacherous chill. Depths run thin as the ice grows, and blue meets white in the blue shallow. Everything covered perfectly in a blanket, one that is cold and doesn't need to fake it.

Over the past couple weeks I have been questioned with the ultimate question... "What did you want?"

If only the answer were that easy. I briefly attacked this question last time without directly addressing it. As the days pass, more questions blow the ultimate question out of proportion to the point where my mental stability is threatened.

My career choice is to be a veterinarian. Most of you know that I frequently have little life crises. I ask myself, "Is this it? Is this what I really want to do?" These days every veterinarian likes to focus on something, a specialty which hopefully becomes close to the heart. I've been setting up externships for my senior year (2008) all of this past week. I've had to decide what I really want to do and what I really want to see during the final few months of my academic life. Frankly, I don't know what I want to see or do. I've asked numerous people for advice and received completely different responses and opinions. The question comes down to what I really want, and at this point I really don't know.

The future is a dangerous thing. Not only is it always coming, but you never know what it has in store for you. Then, when you finally get an idea of what you want it to look like, that idea shapes your thoughts and feelings about everything around you. Thoughts and feelings about the classes you need to take, the places you want to work, the people you care about, everything.

Life can change so quickly. You can blink your eyes and everything you once had can be gone. Try not to miss anything, and try not to blink. The future is coming no matter what, whether you like it or not. Stay strong and keep on pushing, never give up.
