seshat's blog post - One year

A year older, a year closer to wisdom? Maybe not wisdom, but at least a semblance of maturity and adulthood At 29 years, I'm not sure it's time to look back and see what I've accomplished. Especially since I don't feel it's much... at least not in things that matter.

Things other people would consider my accomplishments:
a steady relationship, a house, a successful career.

It's not that what is mentioned above is bad, but it's not at the 'heart' of what life is all about (with the exception of love).

So what am I particularly satisfied about?
That I have realized what I want to do with my life and (more importantly) that I've taken steps towards it:
Today I had my first creative writing class! It's only a small group (7 people +teacher) but the epiphany of meeting like-minded (yet different) people, the info and experiences shared... I don't easily use this word, but it truly was 'awesome'. The fact that it was in an English speaking context made it all the more fun.

First lesson learned: don't fear calling yourself a writer.
So there, I confess, I am a writer. Not a famous one, not a published one, but a writer nevertheless.
