What To Do...

It's been a while since I've updated and between the last time I did and now, I've been feeling unfulfilled in life. Being married is great; having a home is super; but working my job is far from satisfying. Shortly after getting married, I struggled with myself to "figure out what I wanted to do with my life". At that time, I decided to return to the bank - to a job that I knew how to do and felt comfortable doing. Even with no intentions of moving up in the company, no ambition to climb the corporate ladder I was content. Fast forward two years later: While the job has changed very little, my disposition towards it has - and rather drastically, I might add. And quite honestly, it really isn't the company that's not working out, it's me. In the last month or so, I've really felt the urge to do something ... 'more' with my life, especially in terms of work and career (though I'll be the first to admit I'm not a career oriented person). I've thought about doing card crafts but that takes a tremendous amount of time, energy, and expensive equipment; plus it's a tough market out there for hand-crafted paper cards - especially if I can't come up with something very original and definitively unique.

On the other hand, I've been thinking about writing - because it's something I really, truly love to do. Writing, however, is a difficult business to get into mostly because it's so open. I have no niche (save anime reviewing), and I have no formal education. I have no real experience writing for publications. I also have no clue what it is that I want to be writing or who I want to be writing for, whether it's a magazine, an online site, a newspaper, or even a book. It's hard to start looking when you don't even know what you're looking for.

Sigh.

On a happier note, I went to the Blueberry Festival with my friends. It was at the Brickworks in Toronto which is always a fun place to visit. It's been nearly two years since I've been to the Brickworks, which is where my wedding photos were taken. A lot has changed and at the same time, it still has its run-down, rustic charm. We even saw turtles and fish in the pond!

Wild blueberries galore

This basket costs $125; though it's hard to tell in the photo, it's a pretty large basket

I'm sure no one is surprised to see that all my posted photos are Poladroided, haha. And kudos to Blogspot/Blogger for being a little easier to use when it comes to photos and formatting. Not sure if anything's actually changed or if I've finally gotten used to the way it "works".

.:: Edit ::. Oh so close. I went back in to add a link and it totally screwed my photos up. So close, so close Blogspot, but I guess Wordpress is still better.
