Random Memory

Ever get struck with a random memory? Somehow the synapses in my brain made a series of connections that resulted in the surfacing of a memory from childhood. And now I wish I was there, instead of where I am right now.

I am having a "crisis of career" at the moment, and am not sure what I want to do about it. Do I want to move ahead in my career just because my friends are all in management positions? Or do I stay where I am because I am content, it pays the bills, and I am good at my job? Do I even want to take on more responsibility? I mean, I want to be a SAHM, really, so why be driven to climb the ladder if I am just going to get right off the ladder at the earliest opportunity?
Not to mention, I am trying to get my own business off the ground (freelance graphic design if you're ever in the market). I just don't know what to do, or why I even want to do it.

Sometimes, I hate being a grown-up.

I just want to be back at the beach, in Vancouver with my parents. Searching for sea creatures in the shadow of the giant pier, eating greasy beach food with my fingers, and then falling asleep exhausted on the long car ride home.

Can I be 8 again?

I wish you could be 8 again. I wish I could too. Simple happy times 8 was.

Well you know, why not start working on your business plan for your freelancing. If your heart isn't in your current career don't waste time there climbing ladders you want to jump off of soon. I say follow your heart.
