Paths

I've been thinking a lot about our paths and where my life is headed. People grow up being asked what they want to do or be at every major milestone and in between starting as early as kindergarten. I'm 25 and I still have no clue. I'm willing to try anything because I'm afraid I will miss out on something I could have truly loved (this may even explain my dating philosophy, but that's another story). I have a list of things I want to try and I add to it every day. One thing Jen has taught me is to be willing to try things you aren't familiar with. Jen is currently away for the week and I've been using my spare time to research new technique and play mad scientist in the sculpture studio. Friday I will be constructing a fire pit to attempt to finish a ceramic piece I hope to enter into the end of the year show at Cal State. I'm excited to see what comes of my trials and errors and to report back to Jen when she returns. Hopefully I will still have both of my eyebrows. It's hard to see where things are headed for me. I'm enjoying the journey but can't quite make out the destination. I'm ready to push the limit. This year here has shown me more than my brain could have ever imagined. I'm grateful and I'm amazed by what can be accomplished and I look forward to all of the discoveries waiting to be overturned.
