So this isn't a blog recording my quest to emulate Julia Child's recipes, nor is it a blog with political purpose. I actually don't know what it's about, besides the journey I'm taking to figure out what has made me feel so lost. Constantly.
I certainly don't consider myself smart. I may be wise, though I question even that. I'm in a constant state of flux, finding purpose to my life then changing my path. As I look back on my 27 years I see that I've really not accomplished anything. While 27 years still leaves a long road ahead, I feel as if I should have more substance considering the kind of person I see myself to be. Perhaps I can attribute my guilt to this city and its standards and ideals? The fact that the first question someone you just met asks you is, "So what do you do for a living?" to me, speaks volumes about the cookie cutter society I'm surrounded by. At the same time I would like to be proud of what I do... and more importantly, enjoy what I do. While I don't want my career to ever define me, I do want it to be something that helps me find purpose.
