They say the pen is mightier than the sword. I miss those there where I could pen thoughts so freely and to the best of my ability. Now, as honest and foolish as it sounds, it's harder for me to do so. I am at an okay place in my life, wrought with work stress and the mediocrity that comes with it.
I'm doing well in terms of financial stability. OSAP payments are on the brink of starting and I'm ready.
I can't honestly remember the last time I explored my interests. Watched a new anime, read my old manga books or anything that I used to love. I merely come home from work and with the exception of going out to dinner, I sit in front of my computer, much like my current employment and veg out.
I am drained. Don't get me wrong, the actual work I do isn't difficult once the hardship of training was over but I am living in mediocrity which I do not handle well.
Japan is keeping me excited, my stomache is constantly doing flip flops and makes my heart beat a little faster. I have honestly been granted an incredible opportunity, words alone cannot express what a dream come true this is for me.
Everything else in my life is spectacular, life seems to have taken its' natural course. I want to read more books that make me swoon, want to fangirl out about things I love and want to make time for the friends that I love without the worry and exhaustion of a job that makes me unhappy.
The problem with me is that I am a little lost and need to find what it is that gives me a spark.
I am perfectly capable of giving it my all when it comes to most things and I'm damned good at that in general. I just need to find something career wise.
Where does one look for such matters?
I am excited at the prospect of lending some books/comics to a coworker despite being nervous. I always feel like a part of myself is exposed when I show them a book of mine/and am always afraid of judgement.
We shall see how it goes tomorrow.
Peace, love and chocolate chip cookie dough!
