The Human Project

I am human. This is about as far as i have gotten in my disvoery o fmyself, along with some other things, i like shopping, finger painting, clear, crip fall days, a variety of musical genres, warm swetshirts, and scarves, along with other variable and fixed ideas, actions, things....But I woul dlike to turn my attention to the intent of this blog. To find purposein what it means to be human. Some say communicaitn is teh key to human existence, some say it is simply "love" but what is that and how do I go about achieving those things on a daily basis. I need a starting pint. I need some guidelines with whihc to keep myself in check with. Especially If I want to start acting in a more positive way and feeling a greter sense of clarity and purpose as I go abou tmy daily activities.
Human quality ofo Life
The following components are said to be essential for us humans to lead lives that achieve our mazimum amount/state of "living."
-Aesthetics
-Health
-Meaning
-Simplicity
-Identity

Thanks for your time...I hope that you stay around to experience this adventure with me :) or offer your life experiences/feedback!

This is so nerve racking….having to write for an audience, through this tumbler that I just started…this…very…minute.  Out of exasperation (with, lets be honest, myself mostly) I am a college student, undecided, when I am asked my major I answer switching back between my three perspective majors, "design studies," "international relations," and "economics." I know. When at a college party I have frequently answered a different major multiple times during the night.  Luckily my friends have come to accept my indecision and sportingly roll with whatever "major" I have chose to pursue in that moment. TO be quite honest most of the people don’t remember five minutes after I have told them, and close to never the morning after.  Ooooh college.  How in the world could I possibly be legitimately interested in majoring in all of those areas of interests, the truth is I am not.  I waver between the three fueling off of moments of inspiration, such as the moment I am sitting gin economics class and my teacher show us that 90% of the profits made in the U.S. economic market go to the minority of the sellers, only 10%, but they all happen to be corporations.  So ridiculous.  When a problem such as the previous is presented, I think it is fair to say that is a problem, I just want to march myself over to who ever has the power to directly control the situation, government official? …and fix it! In my daily life I have enough trouble just getting at the source of my troubles and figuring out if they are troubles! 

Enough about me and my greivances, but more about me and my “ponderings”(a more thoughfully worded question)

Wait first.

“The Human Project”<—-

My tumbler was christened with this name because I am writing about humans, asking questions, observations, etc…This tumbler is meant to be a learning experience for me.  To become more aware of myself as a HUMAN.  To figure out my definiton of human and what that means to me.  Inspired by my adorable environmental professor, I swear he is a reincarnated Mr. Rogers,  I will be studying &quot;quality of life&quot; which has been pieced apart to divide into five crucial categories.  My understanding/interpretation is that these categories must be &quot;met&quot; or at least exist in a person’s life in order to have a &quot;complete quality of life&quot;

aesthetics

health

meaning

simplicity

identity

I will leave with this beautiful quote by Leonard Cohen &quot;If you do not become the ocean you’ll be sea sick every day.&quot;  <3
