Sep. 30th, 2007 06:08 pmApparently, it's been six weeks since last I posted, and it certainly doesn't seem that long. I am attempting to make today a productive one, so this shall be brief (whatever I can get done in the next eight minutes).
Since mid-summer, I have become restless in my life. I have repeatedly come up hard against my sense that I should be doing more with my life, and more for other people, that I don't do enough good with my time on this earth. (Strangely, this has come to me most forcefully while watching Avatar the Last Airbender--it's such a good show.)
I must recognize that I am always going to have some chaos, confusion and ill-planned moments in my life (because of my ADD, if nothing else). But, I can still take steps towards a better life, and that means looking for a new job. Art-mongering is a good gig, but it's no longer challenging, and I don't feel good enough about the effect I have on the world doing it. I shan't be leaving soon, but sometime next year, I think.
I have slowly been poking away at writing creatively, too. Right now, I type with some chagrin, I have been working on fan fic, but other projects lurk in the background. I do much better when I build social reinforcement into whatever I do, so I have joined a writer's workshop for this fall. I hope it shall prove to be money well-spent.
M and I continue to live and grow together. I wish we saw more of our friends, but it's tough to do that and make time for all the things that we need to do to live as adults. Sigh.
And now, my time is done. Back to the grill!
