Alex’s (II) Monologue
What is life without a destination?
Is it like going on a journey without a map?
Or maybe a plane without a radar?
It’s a person without a goal.
If life is a car, then a goal is your steering wheel.
It’s meant to guide us,
help us make the right turns,
the right choices.
It determines who we allow into our car,
who we will take with us on this adventure.
But most of all,
it tells us that it’s a necessity.
A life without a goal is a meaningless one,
because it’s what instills passion,
a force that allows us to keep moving forward.
It allows us
to continue driving through the hail, rain, droughts, tornadoes, typhoons, and hurricanes
that await us on the road ahead.
And I’m driving to Baruch. Holding my steering wheel nice and tight.
Are you holding yours?
Alex’s (II) Music Playlist…or something like that
Now I could easily make a grooveshark playlist but I prefer listing each song one by one. One song on my list may have helped me get through a very painful and dark moment of life whereas another could be very symbolic and important, for example, the song played during my christening. I feel music is art. These songs are proof of that. And every song on this playlist will always hold a special place in my heart for what they’ve done for me.
