A Lesson in Math

My life isn’t a mystery; it’s a friggin irony. I could elaborate and give countless examples of how I manage to land myself in uncanny situations time and time again… but I’d much rather just vent.

On second thought, I think I’ll just babble.

So spring is officially here. That also marks my 23¼ birthday (I was born on winter solstice for those of you still scratching your head). That means, exactly 1¾ years left before my quarter life crisis. Yikes! I had so many dreams and goals envisioned before reaching that milestone age. For example, I’d like to be enrolled in grad school by then (work in progress), be near engagement (I hope you’re reading this mister), have the first manuscript of my book complete (blog is a start, right?), visit Greece (very doable as long as work and school don’t get in the way), and move out of my house (NYC here I come!).

That means within the next 638 days, I need to get crackin on things. That number will turn into a double digit before the blink of an eye. Things change so quickly. It’s said that change is the only constant in life. So not to insult any math wizards out there, but technically the following could be formulated:

ax + b = c

Yes, it’s the slope formula we all learned in geometry, which could aptly apply here.
‘B’ represents the things that remain constant in life. Such as, I don’t know.. the color of your skin (unless if you’re wacko jacko), your family, your habits (they die hard remember?), etc.
‘A’ is the slope (positive for the good days and negative for the bad days)
‘X’ represents just that.. the unknown X factor.
And ‘C’ equals… hmm?

I have no clue how any of this makes sense. But that’s not my job. I write, you read. I confuse the shit out of you and you try to make sense of it. That’s how the game works.
