This Girl's Writer's Block

These past several days, I've been meaning to write a blog post. Most of the time I have no idea what it is that I want to write about. Then, out of the blue, my mind is floods with all sorts of things that I want to jot down. So, this post is to make up for these past couple weeks and to update you on all the ins and outs of my life lately.

Yes, I have STILL been doing a lot of thinking. Been making mental notes and weighing out pros and cons on what direction I might choose to take this upcoming year. Here is what has been happening recently. It started out with an advertisement on my facebook page. It was advertising a photography school here in Nashville. I tried to resist, but my curiosity got the best of me. I clicked on it and did some research. It actually seemed like a good place to study seeing that the focus of the school is the media arts. And to get my degree in only two years just astounds me! And, it would be amazing to study photography in one of the most beautiful states in the country! As the excitement of it filled me to the brim, I decided to do some more research. This time, it would circle around the serious state of my wanting to study here. Yes, I started looking for apartments. I was shocked to find so many available and at fantastic prices! Now, I'm not very picky when it comes to living quarters. As long as it's clean, I'm OK with that. Plus, I'm one who loves to keep herself busy, so I'm hardly ever "home". And, as long as I'm spending most of my time behind the lens of a camera, my living conditions would be the least of my thought process.

But then, BAM! Reality!

I know, I know. In a couple weeks I will be heading back to Michigan and starting my 2012. I would be lying if I told you that I am going to welcome this new year without fear, doubt, or uncertainty. Sure, I'm excited about it, but not knowing what will happen next is what worries me the most. I'm one who likes to have a plan. And as of right now, I don't have a plan. I'm just going to take it day-by-day and hopefully soon, I'll be able to return to Tennessee in pursuit of the beginning of my photography career.

As of right now, this girl is suffering from writer's block in many ways, but mostly my life. And as I sit here with a blank page before me, I play with the pen in my hand trying desperately to write something down. Nothing is coming to my mind.

Until something wonderful scratches out of my pen and into the next chapter of my life, I will keep pressing forward unknowingly.
