i do know that i can't handle my current job for the rest of my life. not that it is bad... i really should not complain. i make decent money, get treated fairly well, and no one says a word about my late arrivals every morning. mostly my problem is with the public. this small town has produced some of the most annoyingly ignorant people i have ever spoken with.
what i don't yet know is which direction to focus my creativity. photography has always been a huge interest for me & the recent professional photographs that i have seen are something i could definitely compete with. the problem with this plan is the price of the equipment. another option for me is jewelry making. i have already began to dabble into this realm and may have a plan for selling some things in local stores, but i doubt this will ever get me out of my full time job. a third possibility and something that many people have told me i have definite skills for is interior design... particularly the home staging aspect. unfortunately i don't think this area has a large demand for such a thing.
my fourth idea is to write a book. there are a couple chapters saved on my computer right now but as i stated earlier... inspiration is not very dependable. plus, with the exception of 4 lovely friends (you know who you are), i have not received any encouraging words about this blog.
maybe i will figure out my place in this world one day... until then i will continue to do all of the above.

I have the same desires and drawbacks. Almost exactly! Love photography, jewelry-making, reading, writing, gardening, and one day I'm gonna write a book about all the characters in this ridiculous small town. Damn we are so much alike.
