The Living Rube Goldberg Machine

I'll probably never find it easy to let go of the things that I can't change. Most people probably can't. For me, at least, it's not the big things that are hard to let go. You can only have so many big things in life at one time, so they eventually have to go. But like a pack rat, I try to hold on to little things way too long. Trying to fit in all the things I want into every last little nook and cranny of my life. Books I want to finish, games I want to start, projects I want to have behind me, etc. Sure, occasionally people stuff, too. Distant friends (emotionally, not geographically) that just don't seem to fit in my life, nor I in theirs.

Instead, I'm going to try harder to focus on the big and little things that matter. And I've been doing that, basically saying, "what the hell" and just pushing forward. So far, so good, but it's a bit... not scary, more like exciting, like the excitement of going down that first big drop on a roller coaster. In fact, that's almost a perfect analogy. Life is a roller coaster, and I'm liking it that way.
