Take these broken wings and learn to fly

Okay, I admit it, I am a Gleek. Not as much as some people I know, but I tune in loyally. I was re-watching this week's episode, because unlike many this season it really warranted a second watch, and Kurt's rendition of "Blackbird" really struck a cord. What I mean to say is, it really resonated. Sorry, couldn't help myself. Music puns are almost as easy as sexual innuendoes. Anyway, I really connected to the song. Lord knows I'm a night bird, for one thing. And still a little bit broken. And the whole song's about finding this right moment to take action, which is a big theme for me right now. Confessional moment: I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with my life. Seriously, everything after graduation is a total blank, which is scarier than Weeping Angels. It's like, most of my life was planned out for me. I've just kind of stumbled through everything, followed the path people put me on. Teachers said, "learn this", I did. And well, if I do say so myself. The problem, I think, with school is that it never really teaches you how to think for yourself. I know, I shouldn't place the blame on other people for my predicament, but when I ask myself what I want, my mind just goes blank. I feel like I should be fighting for something, working towards something, but I have no idea what. Like I'm waiting for it to just hit me across the head and I'll figure it out, have a big epiphony like people do in books. Do those actually happen? If they do, can mine come soon please?! I've got a year left in college and then I have to actually start paddling.

SPOILER WARNING:
Also, Kurt + Blaine=YAY. End of story, they are my OTP. I squeed so hard after this week. When they have a big gorgeous gay wedding I want to be there. Hey, there's progress, something I want. Granted it's in a fictional world, but hey, I want something. Can I just go live in a fictional world, like Tortall or the Firefly 'Verse or Diagon Alley or something? Cause that would make things SO much easier.
END OF SPOILERS

  1. Dude, I feel the same. Maybe it'll hit us at the same time and we'll get to do some craziness together. :)
