it may have seemed like it was easy for me to up and quit something i seemed so passionate about. i am referring of course to “unplugged week,” that is technically supposed to be happening right now. i assure you, it was anything but easy my friends. i don’t like quitting, or giving up on anything… it’s not my style.
the thing about blogging is, is that you can never take anything back. just like email, once you put something out there… it’s there. from facebook groups and events, to this blog, to commenting on other peoples blogs… i have officially gone the way of quitter and hypocrite. it sucks, i am not going to lie, but it’s better than living a lie and pretending to do something that i just couldn’t do.
late last night, shortly after updating my twitter with the phrase “unplugged = fail” (which automatically updates my facebook status) i stopped by facebook to find i had a message waiting for me in my inbox. it was from a co-worker of mine, someone who’s opinion and advice i love having. his message was simple,
subject: good man
someday you won’t live for a cause…you’ll just “live.” love you bro!
it’s amazing how a simple note of encouragement can instantly make you feel better, even after making a tough choice.
there are so many ways to break down that simple message, but i’m curious what everyone else has to say about this thought. is it important to live for a cause? what does it mean to just “live” and still serve those causes you are passionate about? does that message mean anything to you?
