Sevenly
On another note, I recently came across an awesome site....Sevenly.com! The idea is genius and if I could, I would totally work there! They design a couple of shirts/sweaters for both sexes for a certain cause/charity (Part of the proceeds go to the charity of course). Each week is a new design for a new cause. Check it out!!!

That Independent Itch
So I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling that itch to get out of the 'ole house. Ever since I went to Oregon and stayed at my friend's place, I had such a strong will to get out. Of course, I've always planned to live with her-whether a joke or for real, I'd totally be down. So I told myself that I'd wait until she came back home, which would give me two years to find a better paying job that would allow me to afford a place away from the parentals. Even though I told myself that in order to calm my mind down, the itch never goes away.
I'm always thinking of things I want in my own room/studio area. I'm always worried about how I would come about a better paying job. I've even made plans to go into business with that friend, but it's still in the very early stages. It would be awesome to have my dream (job) in two years, but I'm not relying on it. I still have a ton to learn, and a lot I want to see. Although, being a young successful entrepreneur would be so awesome. It would be such an ego booster.
I'm letting things take it's path, but it's hard not to be hard on myself for not being where I dream of being RIGHT NOW. In such a fast paced world, I know how easy it can be to just get lost and settle in for comfort. But that is EXACTLY what I live in fear of everyday as I go to my low paying job or dreaming about my ideal situation. I fear that I will settle and never reach my dream.
It's hard to just be okay with "paying my dues" right now. It's hard to keep on moving forward with my design world while having a full time job. Maybe I just have to push myself and work on my on pursuits ALL the time I'm not at work. No time for play. I'm so confused as to what I SHOULD be doing...
All I do know is that I don't want to end up with regrets of not fulfilling my dream.
