1/29/15 I Don't Know

Today was an alright day.  I finally got to go grocery shopping with Ellen.  I managed to get a healthy amount of groceries and things I needed for under fifty bucks, so that was a pretty good feeling.  then I managed to get to work early enough to climb a little bit, and sent my project I had been working on (first 5.11A on lead, WOOO!!). Work was crazy though, crank night always is, I never leave Thursday nights not feeling exhausted. Ellen wanted to hang out after but honestly I just wanted to get home and go to bed.  Jake is laying in my lap getting pets while I write this in bed.  I thought a lot today about perseverance. It makes a big difference how much time and effort you're going to put into something, and how long it takes before you just say fuck it. I think my generation has a lot of perseverance.   We realize how fucked up the ways society works are, and know it needs to be changed, but we are also aware of how little we can actually do.  So we wait, we bide our time, we are preparing, learning about the world, I bet we will be the most knowledgeable generation of any before us.  We have access to everything in the world.  We find niche little things and create groups of people who all like these same things.  What I'm getting at is we are all perfecting our craft at one certain thing, and when the time comes for us to take the reins of the world, we are going to make big changes.  I am very proud of what my generation is and will do.  We know we get laughed at the our parents will judge our choices, but we wait, we bide our time, we persevere.
