Ambitions v. Reality

i always want to do more than i have time for. my perfect day would include a photo session, time for full edits, making a vlog, writing a scene in distant future, writing a song, going to the gym, taking a nap, hanging with friends, and traveling to an obscure new country with shanima with enough time to spare to get eight hours of sleep.

as it is, i usually have time for two of those things max, and it’s tough to put them against one another to decide what to do. today i got a haircut and took about 500 photos with shanima on the 7 train platform, in woodside, in a few spots in manhattan, and inside the LIRR station at madison square garden. in the midst of all that we stopped at five senses to get some korean food for lunch. we were supposed to meet some old friends who came to the city for a day, but while we were heading to meet them they told us that they went to the west village - about a half hour from bryant park one way. we were super hungry and didn’t want to add another hour to the commute. it sucks to miss seeing them but there is only so much we could do. at the end of the day we got some dope photos so i am happy we stuck it out instead of packing it in and being social. i do miss my friends, but i am on a vision quest and the visions i saw today were well worth questing after.
