Profile 
DREA & SAMHonestly, we're just two girls a long way from home trying to get by with a little help from our friends and this blog apparently. Sam, SPARKY, is in Bloomingtom, Indiana for 10 months of the year and Drea, IGOTNOTHING, is in Boston, Mass. for those 10 months but every so often, they find themselves "comfortably" at home in Los Angeles, Ca. We're pretty cool, no lie. |

living postponed. why is it that it takes the "mid-life crisis" or menopause or some grave illness or loss in our middle age for us to begin "truly" living? why do we have to wait until then? and further more, why is it selfish or naively idealistic or hopelessly foolish for a 20-something to live his or her life as he or she so chooses? what is so wrong with that? our culture is so dead-set on paying your dues and earning your wages that we cannot enjoy the good of life that often goes by before we have a chance to notice it. on the one hand i understand and respect the sentiment that hard work is necessary and working hard makes things worth it (and by the same token i do not respect or follow the hedonistic view of i'll do what works best for me now or what i want happens when i want), but sometimes we lose sight of what we are working for or cannot take the time to enjoy it. and, it is this mentality that has been bullied and nagged into my generation that most of my peers fall deaf to the call to pull one's own weight and at best end up as apathetic drones in a machine they either no longer notice or no longer care to interact with. it's sad to be frank. and i don't want to be like that. this all just ends up being confusing. especially now, as a grown-up daughter seeing my own mother completely about-face. it's hard but at the same time liberating vicariously to see my own hard-worked and tired mother getting her own; doing as she so pleases when she does. i don't know what to make of it. i guess i have more work and life to do to understand, for two-zero is just too young? 5:44 PM
