Bleh...

This is me not paying attention in survey of Asian Art...

I'm torn right now... b/w people, classes, work, spirituality... Torn amongst them all... and within each category.

And it's beginning to bleed me dry.

Trust me, spending last week in the studio was a welcomed break from the monotony, but the catch-up work I'm doing is sucking the very life right out of me. I hate sacrificing precious sleep because of an art project of some sort.

I don't have time for much of anything anymore... anything important to me, at least. Even when I'm at church, my mind is elsewhere... usually on my schoolwork or what I need to do to clean up my house on my only day off or what I need grocery-wise from Wal-Marx.

And it shouldn't be like that.

I owe it to God and myself to really worship in church, but from some reason, it's just so dang hard. The old ways I swore I'd change keep creeping back in and my mind begins to wander.

Maybe it's just all a part of getting old... I'll be an official adult in less than 4 months, and quite frankly, that scares the ever loving crap out of me. Real worries will soon approach... including (but not limited to) actual full-time jobs, true self-sufficiency, non-shallow relationships (aka the M word), etc... And I have no idea what I'm to do about any of those things.

Perhaps I was sheltered too long... But I don't put the blame on my parents at all. They did what they thought was best and I can't hate them for that.
What I can hate, is myself for not making decisions in general... The body-numbing fear of error and mistake has prevented me from experiencing a lot of things, whether good or bad.

In essence, I feel I've shot my own self in the foot.

So this is Kendrick...
The torn, bloodless being...
Hoping for a Change...

Anything really... just something different.

And now, back to listening to a woman ramble on about Buddhist art...

Welcome to my big kid LJ...

Who knows what may come of this?
The life once known is fleeting.

Expect abstractness and generalities...
And accept it...
