how long will you be waiting?

friday. thank you friday for coming to me. though i just went on vacation, there is something about returning to the day to day that makes it seem more exhausting than before (though it could be the absence of daily vacation naps). it's been a long week - filled with twists and turns. scary things, and relieving things. sometimes all in one. let's just say, i'm ready to start new on monday.
therefore, ontario was extremely kind in deciding to grant me a long weekend this weekend, in the way of 'family day' weekend. monday is a vacation day, so i'm going away, and going to sleep, stay warm, and snow shoe the weekend away.
in and unrelated, but particularly relevant way, this quote is something i've printed out and am staring at daily.

so here's a pep talk. 
"I think we all need pep talk. The world needs you to stop being boring! Yeah, YOU! Boring is easy. Everybody can be boring but you're gooder than that. Life is not a game, people! Life isn't a cereal either. Well, it is a cereal. And if life is a game, aren't we on the same team? I mean, really right? I'm on your team. Be on my team. This is life, people! We got air coming through your nose. You got heartbeat.... that means you got to do something. A poem, "two roads diverged in the woods.. and I took the road less traveled.." And it hurt, man! Really bad! Rocks! Thorns! and Glass! my pants broke! waahh! Not cool, Robert Frost! But what if there really were two paths? I want to be on the one that leads to awesome. It's like that dude Journey said, "Don't stop believing… unless your dream is stupid, then you should give up your dream”. I think that's how it goes. Get a better dream to keep going. Keep going, keep going, and keep going.  What if Michael Jordan had quit? Well, he did quit. No, he retired. Yeah. Yes, he retired. But before that, in high school. What if he quit when he didn't make the team? He would have never made Space Jam… and I love Space Jam. What will be your Space Jam? What will you create to make the world awesome? Nothing if you keep sitting there! That's why I'm talking to you today. This is your time! This is my time! This is OUR time! We can make everyday better for each other. If we're all on the same team, let's start acting like it. We got work to do. We can cry about it or we can dance about it. We were made to be awesome. Let's get out there. I don't know everything. I'm just a kid but I do know this, it's everybody's duty to give the world a reason to dance - so get to it! You just been pep talked! Create something that will make the world awesome. Play ball!"

happy friday everyone!
