Where am I?

Dear Advancement of Life,

By the way, I have no idea why the font type changed and I don't know how to change it back. But I'm killing my obsessive perfectionistic side so I don't care. Sometimes, a line will do, it doesn't have to be straight so just draw it.

I wouldn't say I am, yet again, changing career direction because I have discovered that in this day and age, I don't need a career goal or plan. I remember having lunch with a friend, I was in my last year of study and he said, "what can you be when you graduate?" My answer was: I'm not actually sure, my seniors went into accounts, project management, industrial designing, banking, product development...a complete mix. I hate this particular question because a degree does not equal a career.

Life is not linear.

We are organic matter, we grow and change.

Anyways, I am taking things back to basic. No point in laying the bricks before I have a solid foundation. I have therefore started a sketchbook which is quite difficult. Open the book and it's white paper staring at you - what do you draw, what kind of sketchbook should I make this? Fear of failure has destroyed my creativity.

An hour of my sister throwing suggesting and me giving into logic, nothing.

White page.

Eventually I inked the page and it's fun not being fixated of what I want to do, what it should look like and what the sketchbook's theme should be. That's the thing, you end up fixating on the end result that you don't actually do and it's just ideas which never goes anywhere.

I love where I am - it's cold but dry and sunny so its reflecting the frosty pavement. I can't wait till it snows!!
