Will The Plan Going Forward Work?
What does it mean to live a good life?
I’ve been watching more playoff basketball this year than any time since I started having finals during high school. I have had more time to just sit on my own and pass off ideas in my head throughout the years in a way that has been foreign to me. It’s been refreshing to really watch Bron for the first time game by game since the bubble and really lock in on seeing a possible fifth championship run on the way. I have been giving myself a chance to also slowly dive back into some random Netflix things I’d added to my list over the last year and really secure something exciting to tap into.
What does any of this have to do ultimately with living a good life? It’s because I'm asking myself time and time again, throughout all these moments that I thankfully can now think for myself, what are the ways that I genuinely want to structure my life in meaningful ways? What practices do I want to adopt in this next phase of my life, not immediately tethered to my time as a student? Does it mean I give myself more structured reading and writing time to devote to projects that aren’t my thesis? How can I continue to take care of my well-being both physically and mentally in an honest and mature way? What are the necessary ways I can seek to maintain the relationships I have in my life with the people that I care about the most?
