Pattern of Life Lately...

Things have been seemingly quiet lately although it doesn't really feel that way. It feels like my mind has been racing a lot and focusing on the future. My horoscopes these days are fairly optimistic, giving me a boost of creative confidence in some projects I'm working on. I'll take it, because I really feel the tides are turning in a positive direction and I feel this might be the calm before the storm.

Forward thinking

Here's a little peek into my Moleskine notebook at one of my many doodles. Always move forward and never let anything pull you back from chasing after your dreams. 

Lost, Waiting to Be Found

I've been doodling quite a lot recently. It helps take my mind off things that are troubling me. I can get sucked into a doodle like the one above and for a little while, all the stresses of life dissipate. 

I can almost forget that I don't have a real full time job in my field after I worked so hard to attain a degree in Fashion Merchandising that is seemingly useless at the moment. I can almost forget that my mother is no longer here to boost my confidence or give me advice or tell me everything will work out eventually. I can almost forget that I'm living at home with my father struggling to make ends meet.

I can almost forget. Almost. 

I may be lost right now but I know I will be metaphorically found someday soon. I know I'm not alone in my struggle to achieve my goals and realize my dreams. With support from my family and friends and with perseverance and determination, I will be found.
