new direction

ya know the phrase "shit happens"? well shit happened. this month has been harsh. why, oh why, february, do you hate me? here's the running tally: my car got broken in to, my grandma passed away, and now i'm told i need to interview for a new position or get laid off. the later i was told the day i returned to work from my grandmother's funeral. effing fantastic, right? at first i was feeling rather bitter about the whole thing. who wouldn't? and then i remembered a little blog i posted awhile back about layoffs and the hidden positivity in them.

am i doing what i love?

no...

over the past few months i've discovered my love for design and diy. i'm obsessed with it. i read every blog i can about designing living space, creating cool decorations for the home, creating cool gifts, etc. i love it! especially design sponge. i've started making Valentine's Day cards, Thank You cards, and birthday cards. i love it.

why am i not doing what i love?

i have an extremely hard time with taking the millions of ideas in my head and making them come to life. i struggle. i get discouraged. i give up. but i love the ideas in my head. i'm obsessed with them. i want them to be real.

so what now?

i've decided to go back to school. why the hell not? and this time i'm going to do what i love. i'm going to take design class/art classes/anything to help get these amazing ideas out of my head and onto paper/walls/wherever else they may be placed. since the economy is in the crapper, now is probably the best time to return to school to do what i love. hoping that by the time i'm done, things will be looking up. and i can finally do what i love.
