Lately, I find myself unable to express the inspiration I'm feeling. There are tonnes of things everyday to which I think, 'I should write something about that,' or 'I wish I could preserve this feeling,' or 'I need to communicate this to other people', but I seem to be unable. It's discouraging. I was reading some of my previous journals, and one of them mentioned that I would never stop writing. Well, I have. At least for anything other than my education.

I watched a talk by a man whose name I can't remember, which focused on creativity in the school system and how creativity is taught out of kids from the minute they enter school. This is what I feel like.

For the past 5 years, I have devoted my time to learning about other people, when I should have devoted at least SOME time to learning about myself. I feel like I've gotten lost over the course of my post-secondary career; that I've BECOME my education. I feel like that's all there is to me.

I am writing this as a reminder to myself that there IS more to me than this, and that I need to re-discover it. I need to find who I am again. I was almost there a few years ago, but I've lost that progress somewhere between then and now.

I am quitting my job so that I have a bit more time to work on my self-project. Hopefully this will help me to grab hold of the inspiration I see in my life, rather than letting it slip by like I've been doing. I feel like I've been missing out on so much, and I won't put up with it anymore.

Here's to appreciation.
Here's to creativity.
Here's to re-discovery.
