I’ve been wanting to volunteer for SAFE for a long time. Helping animals is something I really want to do, and at the moment I don’t feel like i’m doing enough. Well nothing active, just passive, by not contributing to an industry I don’t agree with by being vegan. So today at the SAFE store (Save Animals From Exploitation for those who don’t know) I picked up a form to volunteer my time.. since I have so much of it!
I just had a really good day. Perhaps positive thinking goes a long way. I feel like things are finally moving. Instead of thinking about all the trouble in my life and in the world, I think about what I can do to solve or help them.. and work towards doing it.
Only way to do it really. Practice as much as is sensible/possible. Really should learn to play my pretty new bass properly, (see photo) you can’t deny it’s prettyness. Well you can, but you would face the hideous consequences of disagreeing with me. :D
To set a goal, i’ve always been taught that they need to be measurable. This one certainly isn’t; there will be no point in time when I suddenly realise that i’m actually living. Or will there? My life at the moment just isn’t doing it for me really, i’m not trying to do anything so obviously i’m not achieving anything. Smaller sub-goals i’ll set on here will hopefully do that. I need to get out of my comfort zone (and lazy zone) and start doing things that are fun/productive/in some way self-enhancing.
The beautiful Radiohead song ‘True Love Waits’ sums up how i’m feeling at the moment very well:
“I’m not living, i’m just killing time.”
