Discovering my career path.

I really want to break out of my day job and find an actual career. Since I was 16, I have been doing the "responsible" thing and getting payed small wages for rendering service so I can eat, buy gas, go to work, go to bed, Or as Melissa Etheridge says in her one song "work, eat, sleep, work eat sleep, work eat sleep... suffocating my delight". I need to set out and discover my delight and find a delightful job! Why has this been a problem?

I think finding my delight and a delightful job has been difficult because I haven't been able to fully realize where my passion lies. Don't get me wrong, I have become passionate about a good many things. I am passionate about this healthy lifestyle I am learning and pursuing. I even thought about going to school to become a fitness trainer or something similiar, but, having bum knees has put a damper on doing that. I am passionate about music but I am not a musician, I just like listening to it. I am passionate about art, but I am not an accomplished artist I really just enjoy other people's art. I am passionate about movies, but I don't know if I could be paid to watch movies, unless I became a movie editor. I am passionate about many things that don't seem to translate into career.


I went to college for psychology and one day I was sitting in an "abnormal psych" class and while the professor lecturing about how they determine abnormal: they look at the average population as a base on the norm with people outside that norm being considered abnormal (or something like that.. it was a long time ago). As I listened to this lecture, I remember thinking "I'm not normal, does that make me, therefore crazy? And whose to say this mass population really is the normal and sane just because they are the majority? Just because the majority say that God exists, it doesn't necessarily make it so" I decided that day I wouldn't be a psychologist, and furthermore, didn't want any thing more to do with it.


When I was in high school I thought I wanted to be a writer. I suppose that is a thought... I am embarking on discovering if that would be a niche to follow. I have heard that if you want to write, however, you should write SOMETHING every day. Well looky here --- a BLOG!

Though I don't know where my blog journey will take me, I feel I owe it to myself to start writing somewhere and this blog is my start, not necessarily my end, destination.

Here we go!
