Whoa. Sometimes life is surprising. I started writing this blog as a way to guide myself through school as I tried to find "what I really want to do." I graduated school 6 years ago. I can't believe how fast that time has flown by. I really enjoyed the past six years and don't regret many of my decisions, but I think I was fighting my present life and having some kind of fear of enjoying my present moment in time. I was generally happy throughout all that time, but there was this level of thinking that existed in my day-to-day that was searching for something better instead of just being satisfied. I think this impulse to seek out what is next and what is exciting is good and important, but I might have been doing it to the point of overkill. We need balance in everything, right?
So, it finally made sense to go back to design. Find a good job and do the work I have been trained to do. Maybe I'm not the best designer in the world, but I am a designer, and I can be a productive citizen of the workforce and spend my off hours just living. It is as simple as that. It seems like such a simple realization, but it has taken a huge effort for me to really feel this way. So, new job, new home, new husband (and thank god, no more wedding planning).
So, hiatus. I haven't been writing here for a while, but I really like having a place to write. I will be back here doing what I was doing before but with a different focus and a different mentality.
Living now and looking to the future (but not too much). I think I'm happy doing that.
