Ongoing thoughts on growing older
July 10, 2010- reocgnize always that i am a product of my time and society. my gut instincts of what is possible have been shaped by that. but the society and time changes and so i have to recognize that i have to change along with it and recognize the mood of the times. i need this to be able to always relate to young people, and their struggles. so that i can imagine new possibilities that are also a product of this time, not of that from 10 years ago or what not
- be active. i wanna be one of those old people who will jump into a waterfall anytime. this sense of adventure and risk taking is a tangible way for me to remember how i feel when i push the edges at a protest, at an action — to push to the edge and know when to stop but always w a sense of risk taking and adventure
- to be gan1 cui4 — dont know how to say this in english. a way to translate it is — to be decisive and clear cut. if you wanna do something just fucking do it or plan/figure out how to do it if its that important. dont beat about the fucking bush and let inertia take over. we can take different paths. there isnt just one. and some are longer routes than others but that dont mean its a waste of time
- i am already a fucking sentimental person. i wanna be able to chill on my feelings and not let them overwhelm me!!!
- recognizing that noone is indispensible in organizing –> we are not more important than anyone else; at the same time: everyone is indispensible. we need everyone. have this balance, have this tension, and move forward
more later!!!!
