New

I have been a bit lost recently.

Lost does seem like the wrong word. These words seem like better words:

Unsteady

Reflective

Unsure

Contemplative

Frustrated

Excited

Anxious

Wary

Analytical

Thoughtful

The word I need is there but I cannot quite find it.

A lot has happened of late. It’s been quite a hectic start to 2013. If you told me that we are only 4 months into the year then I just wouldn’t believe you but I have just checked a calendar and I am informed that it is in fact true. Unless calendars are out to get me as part of a big government conspiracy? No? No.

It’s been busy. I set up a a semi-business, sold valentine’s day cards, contemplated self-employment, started doing art again, started thinking creatively again, started a new blog, started a 365 photo challenge, completed multiple office, graphics and marketing jobs, worked freelance, visited England (for 6-7 weeks!), spent time with my family, drove in a foreign country, which wasn’t a foreign country, organised and sorted out the first 23 years of my life into two large plastic boxes, had a flight cancelled because of a blizzard, landed in the U.S., went through U.S. immigration, was told ‘Welcome Home’ at Canadian Immigration, saw so many friends, ate at Pizza Express and managed to see my parents and, I think, help them out a bit.

I cannot believe I’ve done so much.

Yet, I feel like a new phase is needed. England helped me find closure with the whole ‘straddling two countries’ issue. I feel like my life still needs more purpose and that’s what’s going to happen. If they’re even half as productive as these last few months then I can only expect good things.

Wish me luck.
