Working in film / generally a creative field in a big city can lead me moving very...very fast. I realised sometimes I lose sight of myself and my inner desires and dreams. Sure, it's great to do that one job that seems big at the moment, but have you spent some time alone to think hey - what is it that I really want? Big picture? Outside of what's deemed as "fame" and "successful" or "cool" to your peers...?

I think continually asking why you want something can help with this. When you do, you may realize the āitā you want is rooted in other people: how theyāll perceive you, if youāll be accepted by them, etc. The older Iāve gotten Iāve been better at untangling some of my desires from the ego and I think it has lead to better self-satisfaction of where I am at and where I am going. itās also allowed me to ālet goā of some dreams. Thatās sounds negative or sad but I donāt mean it so: sometimes you white-knuckle-grip an idea of yourself so hard that it destroys you! I think āletting goā doesnāt mean things wonāt happen, it means they donāt have to and that pressure alleviation can make all the difference.
Thatās not to say to never let the drive of the ego take overā¦Iām not sure we would create art/great things without it. I guess what Iām saying is that knowing the root of our desires is a key to balance and self-assuredness.

Had a moment last night where I was stacking menus at work and staring out the window and kind of asked myself, ādo I really need to stay here?ā. Idk, money is important, but I think Iād rather work somewhere that lets my personality shine rather than makes me feel unappreciated and devalued. Makes me feel kinda bad that I decided this is normal instead of sticking up for myself. ~~~not sure what to do ~~~~ :/

Currently I am finding it rather difficult to find myself in this world and what I want to do. Being 21 and in college really puts a lot of pressure on you when your peers are entering their last year at university. Iāve never known what I want to do, iāve never had a lifelong dream of becoming something. I never had that feeling. Out of high school I had no idea what to do with my life so i copied another persons life instead of taking my own route. I realized then this is never a good idea you should always be yourself. The issue is I donāt know myself, I donāt know what I want to do with my life. I donāt know what I want to become career wise. I have many lifelong goals and plans for my future like getting married, starting a family, and moving to a beautiful house preferably outside of lakeway itās just the roadblock of how Iām gonna do all of that. Career and money really puts a lingering constant pressure on me and it is genuinely one of the worst feelings in the world. Seeing your peers grow up and get internships and jobs and opportunities when you have no clue whatsoever what you want to do is rough. I do believe somewhere in my mind that I will randomly find a calling or a passion and turn that into a well paying career. But for now iām stuck.

Lighting a cigarette with a match box is much cooler, and you get to collect so many interesting designs, like these dog ones which tell you about different breeds.

The perfect lamp, is there anything else to say? It's the perfect amount of nostalgia, cuteness, and a little bit creepy.
