Thoughts (Free-write)

I have the intense urge to learn a peripheral amount of information about everything. I love knowing my passions in depth, but I wish I knew enough carpentry to fix a cabinet, build a bridge, or install a window. I wish I knew enough acting to lie well. I wish I knew enough electronics to fix my damn cell phone charger.

But then once I learn a little, it doesn't seem like I know anything anymore. For instance, I learned enough graphic design to design our school's literary magazine, but now I wish I could learn juuust a little about basic shape manipulation or typography to give it a more polished look. Still focusing on the peripheral knowledge, but deepening my understanding of graphic design. I think that's why I love art so much... I'm never bored just learning more about the same thing. There's always new territory.
