Bang, Pow, Crash

Oh today is just one of those days - when I feel so overwhelmed with all that's going on in life, and like there's no time to do anything.

In college, my days were planned. I had specific assignments I was working on, club meetings, rehearsals - I knew what my activities were, I knew who my friends were, I knew my major, and I knew what I was working toward. In the real world that kind of structure doesn't exist. And so I have days like today, when I wonder where I'm going with my life and what happened to all my dreams and hobbies and interests. I make long lists in my head of everything I'd ideally like to do: take photography classes, speak Spanish, learn to make jewelry, sing, force myself into a regular gym routine, find a job that I love, volunteer at the animal shelter, decorate the apartment, clean the apartment, find some freelance writing gigs, become a better cook, accrue a more professional wardrobe, blog... GAH it's enough to make my head explode.

I feel as though I have no direction right now. There is so much I'd like to do, as you can see, but I have such trouble prioritizing and finding time and keeping my desires consistent. It gets very overwhelming, like I have a giant post-it note on my brain.

The biggest question I want to answer right now is: What thing(s) am I passionate about and how can I go about making a life out of that? But if I don't try a bunch of different things, how will I ever get an answer?

Boo to feeling this way. On one hand it's exciting to have so many possibilities, on the other hand...

...it's exhausting.

Things to find out BEFORE marriage

Oh Google ads, you never fail to make me laugh.



Also, the usage of the word "if" is incorrect. It should be whether. So there. Also, I posted something just like this a while ago, but I had forgotten about it until now. So who cares?
