I enjoyed this, gave me a little bit more insight to you and always interesting to hear peoples tales.
I have been thinking a lot about where I have been, where I live now. Moving to London 8+ years ago now, was a big decision, but at the time an easy one. End of long term 7year relationship, job looking shakey, age etc. But now, 8+ years on I worry I have not done what I should have with my time in this place and I am feeling the urge and need for change.
There is always one location where my heart will always be, where I would want and find great joy in living, but unfortunatly not great career options, so not a possibility.
How do we know what step to take next, I guess we just have to take a risk and learn along the way. I hope you find your way to where you want and need to be. *hugs* Now, get some sleep!
As odd a thing as it tends to be in some ways, I actually function better / am much more in-tune with the creative aspects of my being during my completely off and / or sleepless periods. I've lived so many years of my life that way that it did get to a point a long time ago where it started feeling 'odd' when I'd get normal sleep amounts for too long of a period. That plus how many people do you know who get headaches from sleeping more than 5 hours too many nights in a row ? *laughs* One of the bizarre side-effects of so many years of working full time jobs + playing in touring bands + my standard of a bare minimum of 4 hours a day in my studio + trying to retain a social life + getting silly ideas in my head like opening art galleries for zero profit or writing freelance articles for magazines and / or trying to publish my own comic book + being one of those people who tends to read a boat-load + taking classes part-time to work on getting a second degree *shakes head*
I meant to respond here seemingly forever ago, but my ship's been drifting around for the past week again ...
I actually lived in PDX for about 4 years, but then moved to the east coast a couple of years ago. The moment I got here I wanted to go back, and I still do. I'm not positive yet, but there's a really good chance that I'll be moving back to PDX either late summer or sometime in the fall ... I really do miss it there in a lot of ways - though not a native it's the only place that's ever felt like 'home' to me.
