Yesterday, Sam and I took a mini-adventure to the east end and enjoyed the beautiful sunshine and lunch on the upper deck of BRGR. I found the above shirt in Timebomb but didn't buy it because it was baby sized. I regret it now, I should have picked it up and done a little DIY with it considering I can't get the saying out of my head. Of course, it belongs to Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, "Well-behaved women seldom make history."
It's important to understand the risk taking and spontaneity of this quote. It's not about lighting everything in sight on fire, literally, but instead, figuratively. Reclaiming the things around you and ridding of what you don't need is really important. I'm the worst at getting rid of things; I probably am somewhat of a hoarder, both materialistically and thoughtfully. I'm a dweller. I've started trying to go through the important things in my life and really 'clean out' the negative. I try to look at things that are prevalent from every possible side and decide what the most critical part is. It doesn't always work; sometimes I leave my brain feeling way more frustrated and, sometimes, more negative than I was originally. That's what tomorrow is for. Today is for sorting, tomorrow is for deciding, and anything beyond that is risk.
I can't really say what risks I'm making right now. I do know that I will not be signing another lease in Pittsburgh. I never intended to stay here beyond schooling and, in the words of my very wise lifeline of a grandmother, "You went there and did what you intended. Now, pick yourself up and keep moving."
Here we go.
