today i've been writing lots. thinking lots. and compiling lists in my mind of all the things i want to do, see, and accomplish. lots is currently coming in the pipeline - lots of great oppourtunities, and amazing openings. however, all of these things require time, concentration, and a level of patience that i was not born with.
and so i wait. i work hard. i stretch out money (and it's invariable and inevitable woes), and i pay my dues. and i hope soon - shortly - it will all come to ahead.
i guess the good news is that soon you will all have lots of things to read about - jewellery workshops that i'm teaching, new pieces for the thackeray's vanity spring line, pen pal fun, 'daring' adventures to 'far away' places. outfitting my apartment. thinking about applications and items that are needed for the future. lots of writing, writing and writing, as well as time spent with friends. getting out of the city, and planning time to hike, to camp, and to be outside. time spent organizing reunions for the university, and workshops, art encounters, and catch ups galore. healing - lots and lots of healing. all of this in the mere hours between my '9-5' (or as i like to call it, my 8:30 - 8).
it's a bit exhausting, and intimidating to think about. but in the grand scheme of things, it is all worth it.
this may be vague, but it's all in the interest of things happening when they happen, and things being shared once they have come to fruition. and when they all do, i will document and savour the moments - and share them with you!
and as i always say - i can sleep when i'm dead.
