Last night, I stayed up late looking into the dark wondering where I was going with my life. I resigned from my corporate cushy job 2 months ago with the intention of going back to school and returning home to help my mom. However, I feel listless more than ever. In fact, I feel more resigned because I have nothing planned out, with the exception of school.
Where am I going? What am I doing?
My mind spews out things I should do, things I can do, activities that would challenge me, and projects I could start. Within the convoluted priority list in my head, one thing kept popping up in my head -
stop planning and simply do.
What perfect time than now?
I have no family to take care of, no dependents to feed, no large bills clouding my head, no 8-5 job holding me back.
Maybe I'll start on a memoir? Because I have complete fate in myself to know I'll be someone important in the future.
Maybe I'll dabble in a bit of fiction writing? Because I always wanted to test my own creativity and see how far it would go.
Maybe I'll take a class on acting? Because I want to know if I can cry on the spot without being sad.
Maybe I'll take bartending classes? Because I have a secret wish to act out scenes from Cayote Ugly one day.
I don't think of this as a bucket list because a bucket list implies you have all the time in the world to get things done. No, this will be my "
Shit to do Now list" because
nothing potentially great should wait.
