inspiration 01

I must clarify that this time of open days and isolate hours are not without momentum. Heck yes it is rough not knowing exactly who I am, what my gifts are or what sort of profession is a good fit for me. But this is not a diagnosis for a prescription of pity prescribed by myself or you. I am often flooded by that mysterious thing that we call inspiration. I find that it's not really there when I crawl back into bed or when I eat 6 Oreos in a row or especially when I compare myself to everyone who looks busy and passionate. BUT when I habitually use conscious thought to explore...I find something that connects me to...me (my blurry gifts, passions and interests). One day it will all make more sense. Yes?
