grip
there were many many times where i thought to myself, “where am i going with my life?”
i have had plenty of time to think, retrospect, meditate, etc. on what to do with my time. here are some of the things i’ve contemplated – road trips, eurotrips, becoming a pilot, being in a band, human resource in corporate america, nurse, business owner. these are just SOME of the things i’ve thought about..
for me, i see my peers and compare myself to them. what and how are they doing? what career have they gone into? are they happy? sometimes i feel bad about myself when i do this – bummer. it seems that a majority of people strive toward one goal – go to school and learn something, to be prominent in their career and make lots of money. right off the bat, i fell off the bandwagon early. B.A. in anthropology – i knew very well that there is little to no job market for that degree. i want to learn and do things that are interesting to me and makes me happy.
time to get a grip, right? i am only getting older. after my stay in texas, i am going to find a home for myself and do what i want. find work where ill actually enjoy myself which will make work not seem like work. to me, my ideal is to work with guitars – build em, play em, sell em, teach em, whatever else there may be.
hope i dont end up settling.

I remember when my brother was really interested in building guitars. He went to a conference for about a month I believe. You should look up conferences about guitar building. That’s where he learned a lot about it and also got to build his first guitar.
Also, I think as we get older, it’s not just about our happiness but happiness for out significant other or family. So don’t be selfish when you want to find something that you’re happy doing. If it’s not practical, then it’s not worth it despite your happiness. Ultimately, I feel that God will provide for you and guide you to a place where you can live a happy life whether it may have been or not have been what you wanted to do. Just trust in him and follow him, but never stop giving your best.
