#28 I need direction....

Have you ever had those days when you feel like something is off? Well for me that day is today. Have you ever wondered what you are supposed to do with your life? Sometimes I feel like I am failing in life. Right now I feel like I am in limbo in my life; I feel like I have no direction. I don't know what I am supposed to be doing. I feel like I want to serve a greater purpose. I just want to have a living in at job where I am happy and get to be in the art world but still make enough money for those who need it; I want to help those people in need.

Job Market

Right now, it feels like no one is in need for a graphic designer. I have looked and called and keep getting the response, "That position has been filled." I feel as though I am always to late. Should I apply for an internship? Am I to old? Too out of college?

I sometimes think I should expand my skills in the world of Web Design, but that cost $$$$$ (which I really don't have) I would need to buy programs or a new computer which is way to expensive. I feel like I am rambling.

I need to do something with my life, but WHAT?

I sometimes think I want to open one of those pottery painting places where people paint the pottery and you fire them and then they come back, but then I ask myself, DO YOU WANT TO STAY IN SOUTH LOUISIANA YOU ENTIRE LIFE? My answer to that question is I DON'T KNOW. Sometimes I want to settle her but then there are times when I think..."I am young and still want to do things in my life.

Love Life?

Or lack there of... I have been single my entire life. I sometimes wonder what is wrong with me? But I have come to the conclusion that right now I am not ready for anything in that part of my life. First off, I need to get my weight on track. Secondly, I NEED to find a JOB. However, I sometimes especially during the holidays I wish I had someone just for me. Or when I do things with my sister and her husband; I see how much they love each other and how much the really just like being in the same room. I want that too.


I guess I am tired of people telling me. "One day it will happen" or "wait your turn." I know all this, but when is going to happen for me?

If I were you, I would teach art at a private elementary school (you don't have to have a teaching degree to do that). I think you would be amazing with children—you could give them some really crazy and fun projects to do. I have a friend who does it and he loves it!

Whatever you do—those paint your own pottery places always flop. Unless you live in a tourist destination, it's not gonna work. At least, that's what I've heard from some friends from our church who tried it.

Just some ideas!
