live simply

I wonder if this is even possible in this world today… I feel like my head is spinning with all the things I need to do, but I’m not doing them because I don’t want to do them… so then I get behind and stressed… will the day ever come that I look forward to tomorrow?????

We did presentations in one class of mine on our perfect career, and one guy said he’d like to be a self sustainable farmer. And I thought the other day, how great that would be, to own some land, and grow my own food, and not have to buy anything… but just in case, I could be a writer or something to have a little income.

And maybe build my own house (I know, that’s pushing it…), but after watching Lost, I get all these crazy ideas of what I’d do on a deserted island (yes, my island would be deserted, not demonized!) and how interesting it would be to have to totally start everything from scratch.

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to live in the cave man days. No cars, no bling, nothing to make people jealous of each other or hate/kill/deceive each other. I feel like we are all consumed by STUFF! How does that happen? It’s really hard not to want it when everyone else has it, but I suppose that’s a whole ‘nother issue (i.e. self control/self discipline…). I want everyone in the world to be rid of those things so we can all see what really matters.
