I've been going through an existential crisis as of late. I'm not in school, I don't have a job, and I still live with my parents. It's not a bad place to be in at 23, but I need to move forward with my life. I need to be able to support myself without having to rely on my parents. Life, as it turns out, is more than just reading books and watching Netflix. And surely I can't get by from my meager wages as a babysitter.
I feel I've reached a stalemate in my life. I've tried working in an office setting, but I'm much too hot-tempered for that. I've tried working in fast food, but, well we just won't talk about that. *shudders*
It seems like I've reached a place in my life where I need to make money but don't have the talent or skills to do it.
While browsing articles about unconventional jobs, I stumbled across a particular article about being good at stuff. The jist of it was that I need to be brutally honest with myself about what I am and what I am not good at.
So, there's this: I am good at reading fictional books. I am good at writing (sometimes). I am good at drawing (also sometimes). I am good at loving my dog (all the time). I seem to do well with introspection and with philosophical thought as well.
That is how I've ended up here. Among all of the things I am good at, maybe blogging is the happy medium. I want to spend some time being honest with myself and a blog seems a great place to do that. Chances are, I'm just talking to myself anyway. If you stumble across my blog and decide it's worth your attention, feel free to leave a comment It'd be cool to know how other's might be coping with similar situations in their lives.
God bless! I hope you have an enlightening day!
