In about a month, I’m supposed to move to the country. That’s kind of weird for me, I’ve always been a city girl. I grew up here, in the city of Dallas.. and now, I’m supposed to move to the outskirts of the metroplex to somewhere I’ve only visited once – to see the home we’re apparently moving into. I’m almost completely unfamiliar with a country lifestyle, the lack of street lights and one-lane curvy country roads actually freak me out a little. It’s probably going to be culture shock, and definitely will take some getting used to.
Maybe I’m some kind of spoiled city girl, but I’m so used to driving just a few minutes in any direction to find what I’m looking for – for example, there are three Target stores within half an hour of where I live. It’s not going to be like that when I’m 20 minutes from the closest suburb. Weird!
Who knows, maybe I’ll end up loving it?
Lately I’m feeling bored. I’m feeling like I work, when I’m not I play my silly video games.. and of course I have other fun, but without any real creative outlet. Suddenly I want to view the world in different colors than I’m used to, in more exciting and brighter, flashier ways. I used to try to craft. Perhaps I should try it again.
I find myself wanting to draw, paint, sew, mold ridiculous things with clay.. And so begins the research. I’m not really the type of person to just jump into something without thinking it through – unless it’s now or never, one in a lifetime.. then I’ll probably go for it – but releasing my inner creative, childlike self isn’t like that.
Everyone has some sort of creative talent within them, I believe.. but I often am too critical of my personal work or take it as only a joke and my artist aspirations never go anywhere. Maybe it’s time to change all that. I guess I’ll just have to see how this goes..
