"Don't Stop (Thinkin' About Tomorrow)"

I spend a lot of time in solitude, thinking. (What else am I going to do? I don't have plans.)



I think about the future.
I think about my mortality.
I think about music.
I think about school.
I think about love.
I think about my family.


I think about the present state of the world.
I think about world affairs.
I think about politics.
I think about the deficit.
I think about political scandals.


After I'm done thinking, I wonder, "What the heck is wrong with the world, and how the heck did we get here?"


I waste time scanning Facebook walls, checking out what I'm missing out on. (Guh. Now we KNOW I live in the South. I just ended a sentence with a preposition. Someone please slap me. Please.)
I waste time being depressed when no one will ask me how I'm doing, just for the heck of it. (Again.)
I waste time thinking up fantastic statuses that people will "LIKE" to seem popular, elusive, and awesome.
I waste time writing, when I could be on my way to becoming an All-Stater.


And then I think, "What the heck is wrong with ME?"

After all of that fantastic thinking I do, I think about God. 


I think about how amazing He is.
I think about how many times I take Him for granted.


It's SO easy to do so, and that's a problem.
It's so easy to take everything for granted! It frustrates me terribly.

When I talk to people, I want to hear their thoughts, not some vapid creation of their minds attempting to prove they're cultured, knowledgeable, or socially acceptable. Talk to me like you want to understand something. Let me see that there's more to you than Facebook. Let me have hope in this generation, for Pete's sake! (Who is Pete?)


When you are available for (intelligent) conversation, let me know, and I'll be HAPPY to oblige you.


Thanks,
Lisa
