I have recently just moved out to Alberta in Canada, and am living with a family that has truly taken me on as one of their own. They have two kids, a boy who is thirteen and a girl who is just about to hit the pivotal age of sixteen. The mother and father are moderately young, and they also have a guy about the same age that has ended up boarding semi-permanently with them. Having settled in now, being here over a month now, and getting myself a beautiful girlfriend who I care for a lot... I have decided that it is time for start making my steps here.
My aim for moving out here was to start life, to begin, to turn a new page, write a new chapter... Almost, finish my preface, and write the first scene in a new act. So, as I chug a can of cold coke, I write to you about my thoughts and options in life.
Thoughts on Studying
Why would I study? Well, I have to admit that you can get far in life without studying, but I want to be influential. I not only want my opinions refined and thought over, but then to have the platform on which to share them. I honestly feel that a revolution is needed in this world, especially when it comes to the Church. What, exactly? I'm not sure, but that's why I want to study. I want to refine all the different thoughts I have. I want to have some time under some great teachers, to allow space for my thinking and to just exercise thinking in general.
I want to learn. I want to see the potential of my ideas. As just a guy, I struggle to do this, and feel that guidance under the right professors would push me and give me space to grow. Though I am surrounded by great people, I feel I need the right people to push my boundaries.
For now, I will be looking at what I want to study, and I will share my thoughts with you guys as I search.
