Where have I gone?

What have I been up to?

Well, it is officially my senior year and I'm graduating this up and coming May and I am lost! Where do I go now? My creative thinking cap has flown off in the windstorm of life so it seems. I wish Miami was filled with the resources of the Northeast...unfortunately, we pay the same prices for housing and yet we lack the professional and academic resources they bask in. I wonder if its worth the sacrifice of leaving the comfort of home and decent living in the pursuit of who knows what??

I never thought I'd say this, but being in my early 20's has been far less of the excitement I'd planned for when I was younger. More and more, I realize that we spend these times in our lives setting ourselves up for our futures. Careers, marriage and family all fall somewhere under the umbrella of being in 20-30 range. And sometimes securing one leaves you at a disadvantage to the others and often times you can have it all, it just doesn't actualize the way you initially envision it.

Whatever the case may be, I'll conclude that I'll have to manage chasing my professional dreams and still find the space and time to pursue my personal dreams as well. Perhaps the heightened fear of growing older and yet unprofessional is what really catapults my thoughts into a dismal spell! Regardless, I'm still writing, still thinking and more importantly setting myself up for the greatness we're all guaranteed through our self motivation, passion and drive.

Until the mood strikes again and the chai latte pours...
