Since graduation life has been a strange mix of emotions along with lots of time to think. This is really a strange time for me. In school, I was the kind of person who planned out every hour of the day in order to fit in school, family, friends and homework all with time for that precious hour of television to watch my newest favorite show of the season. I was a hard worker and I liked feeling like I was a hard worker.
These days there is no schedule, there's no list of things that need to be done, well, at least it's not even long enough to have to write down. I miss my planner with it's million things exploding out of the day's square.
Even though I miss being busy and feeling productive, I'm learning a lot in this period of time that I've been forced to 'take a breath.' I've met some wonderful people and God's teaching me to look to Him and not to my goals or aspirations to find my identity. Graduating college was my goal for as long as I can remember and I never really gave life after college much thought until I arrived here. Let's just say I'm learning to like it. I find comfort in the apparent temporariness of the situation, I know that life will not always be this simple and that I should use this time wisely, not going down dead end roads, but investing in friendships that will last, taking the initiative to continue learning on my own, and continuing to create even when I don't feel like it.
