I read this statement the other day from someone’s blog. It was just very relevant to my current state of being, so I thought I’d blog about it. When it comes to love, career choices, or whatnot, I think the most critical decisions in life are often made ad hoc rather than planned as expected. The most important decisions are made without reason or logic because, in reality, we don’t always have all the information.
I think about architecture school once again, and that I’m starting the Making and Meaning architectural bootcamp at Sci Arc next week, and I really wonder what’s going to happen during that span of time. Who are the people that I will meet during that time, and what are their backgrounds and talents? Will they be as passionate about architecture as I am, or will they just be some random high school student fulfilling a requirement that mom and pops wanted them to fulfill? It’ll certainly be an interesting mix of people.
I also think about my love life, or maybe lack thereof, and the people right now who are populating my time now that I’ve moved to Los Angeles. It’s certainly an exciting time to be dating here with everything going on, but everything is still so up in the air. There’s just so much uncertainty left and right that I don’t really know what to make of it all.
Finally, I also ponder what it means to be completely rational in one’s path through life, and perhaps, it would’ve been a life in the medical field for me: the safe path with a stable salary and enough money to support a wife and kids. That’s the ultimate rational decision, but, again, how humdrum a life that would be!
