Emerging from the Cave

Hello my dears,

This is (one of) my attempt(s) to get out of this present cave, or creative lull, that I find myself in.

I've decided to take a generally unpopular hiatus from my studies this spring in an effort to further pinpoint some direction and explore some passions of mine (I have some inklings as to what they both may be). While I'm excited about this little jaunt, I'm acutely aware of the unspoken timeframe that our society has placed on each of us. The drumbeat we've been taught to follow goes something like this: school, highschool, college, career, career, marriage, career, children, career, death. I do realize how utterly offbeat I am to that drum at the present; but despite the looming beat, I'm rather excited to break out some paint brushes and watch the green grass grow for a season. After all, time is what we all have, one minute of it at a time.

This blog is just a log I plan on keeping in order to keep myself accountable - accountable for keeping my eyes wide open to all the little wonders in everyday life. Read along if you like, I'd love to have you walk beside me.

Along this bendy little road I'm ambling on, I'm taking plenty of stops along the way to observe the trees swaying and the people passing. Therefore, this path may take me a while, but I'm working on it.

Spring is upon us, time to awake from hibernation!
Adoringly,
Yours
