Finding a Happier Me

I couldn't go back to sleep after Jared left this morning, so I checked the blogs I follow and came across an answer to my prayers. The things she said are things that I have known before at some time in my life, but had forgotten and needed to be reminded. Sometimes it just takes a well worded thought to break through the barrier our minds sometimes build around certain topics. Check out her post here.

Lately, I've been trying to find a job, but every place I applied to just filled me with dread thinking of going there every day. I've been trying to find what makes me happy so I can do that as a job, but I can't seem to find jobs offered here in Elko that are for the creative minded. At least no openings at the moment. This has gotten me thinking about my life and what I really want to do with it.

I have always had a hard time finding what I'm passionate about. I enjoy so many different activities at different times that I don't really stick to one for long. I have realized though that graphic design is something that has always stuck with me. I studied creative writing for 5 years, and photography for 1, when all along I should have been doing graphic design. This is why students should try a little of everything, because I had no idea what graphic design entailed until my senior year of college.

So, today is going to be dedicated to figuring out what makes me happy and how I can keep doing that in my life. A lot of soul searching, scripture reading, and praying is going to be happening around here so hopefully I'll figure out a plan of action soon.


See, this here, making this made me happy :) Too bad I only have Word to work with haha!

    Bree, I just discovered your blog--it is cool! I am so much like you; I have always flitted around, enjoying many things, but never one thing long enough to let it own me. Like a sparrow, early on a summer morning, always looking, bouncing around, and never satisfied with anything or place too long. I think we are like modern-day Bohemians that love the mysterious and beautiful parts of life. Maybe it is to help conquer those dark things when they come knocking.

      Um, love that last sentence. Spot on, Rick! It's funny because (I wonder if this is the same for you) I do what I do for so long that sometimes I forget the dark things, get complacent, then they come back and I realize why I do what I do and then create with vehemence. Haha vicious cycle isn't it? It's good though, keeps me on my toes! I hope things are going well in your part of the world! Thanks for reading, it's so great to hear from you!
