I've learned to stay still when I'm confused. I thought I've found what I was looking for, but it turns out that what I was looking for is not what I need. This is good. At least I know now what I don't need. :)
On a lighter note, I had sooooo much fun biking with friends last Saturday! Riding 14 miles in the city - through traffic and crazy people - was a piece of cake! Hehehe! This shouldn't surprise me since I used to do 7 miles in 30 minutes on stationary bikes. I cannot wait til I purchase my own bike and ride ride ride! As long as I keep my focus and momentum, I know that I can really be good at this.
Below are some pics from last weekend's events:

at long beach, long island

I have lots of thoughts in my head that I would rather share a song than try to write them all down..

Watershed by Indigo Girls

Thought I knew my mind like the back of my hand,
The gold and the rainbow, but nothing panned out as I planned.
And they say only milk and honey's gonna make your soul satisfied!
Well I better learn how to swim
Cause the crossing is chilly and wide.
Twisted guardrail on the highway, broken glass on the cement
A ghost of someone's tragedy
How recklessly my time has been spent.
And they say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger!
Well I better learn how to starve the emptiness
And feed the hunger
Up on the watershed, standing at the fork in the road
You can stand there and agonize
Till your agony's your heaviest load.
You'll never fly as the crow flies, get used to a country mile.
When you're learning to face the path at your pace
Every choice is worth your while.
Well there's always retrospect to light a clearer path
Every five years or so I look back on my life
And I have a good laugh.
You start at the top, go full circle round
Catch a breeze, take a spill
But ending up where i started again makes me wanna stand still.
Stepping on a crack, breaking up and looking back
Every tree limb overhead just seems to sit and wait.
Until every step you take becomes a twist of fate.
