seshat's blog post - Nostalgia

Or not Just surprised to see how long it has been since I blogged here, and wondering if I still have reasons to blog here

My boyfriend could tell you how little of a sex life we have. I could tell you how much my work is stressing me out, and how I don't have the energy/time/discipline to work out. The scales can tell you how disastrous that's turning out.

But none of this is to be taken as an expression of negativity. Sometimes you get a 'moment of clarity' where you see how some things in life aren't going as wanted, and what should change.

Ever since my holiday last September, I feel I've been playing catch-up at work, which in its turn has completely destroyed the work-out routine I had built up. It's not a good sign when you can't even afford to take a few weeks off work. Strangely, despite my boss giving me someone to help me with my work (yay, I now have two people working for me) it doesn't seem to have improved my predicament much.

But there's something more important that the amount of hours I spend at work. And that is the question that first reared its head when I visited my French lit professor last summer: "Is this really what I want to do with my life?"
Don't get me wrong, my job challenges me in the ways I love, otherwise I would not have stayed three years and have no plans for changing jobs. But it's still a job, not a dream, not a life project.

So am I going to nag and moan about this (which is in my character, unfortunately) or am I going to do something about it? I decided to take a first step in following my dream. I am taking a creative writing course in a few months.
Where it will lead? Not a clue, but at least it's a step in the right/write direction.
