marezydotes is totally reworking her list.

have a career where I can use my creativity
arghhrhgh...! 22 months ago

I’ve spent too long working at jobs that don’t require any real potential on my part. What’s the point if I don’t contribute in some meaningful way? I may be good at what I do, but these abstract ‘behind the scenes’ jobs aren’t fulfilling to me, and though they have to be done…they feel pointless and unrewarding. I make a lot of money now, but I hate it – the best job I ever had was waiting tables. It was engaging and I felt a part of something. I went home with the cash in my pocket that I had worked hard to earn that day and I was happy to make my customers happy.

To the point, I want to put my creativity to good use. As the years go by, I’ve become more aware of my compassion and a pull to do something that will impact the world in a positive way, whether it be human or environmental (are the two seperate?)

If any of my other goals come into play, I’ll hopefully be able to make something of this. I need to start fresh and focus on what’s important in my life…the distractions have been all encompassing and they need to be eliminated. Then, I’ll find myself again.

doodle13 really enjoyed the winter commute this morning!

iam in this same predicament and i continue to create art as way of satisfying my craving for thinking differently and expanding my mind, i struggle with working at something that is not my goal or dream…i am behind the scenes at my day job too

i feel like i need to be more actively engaged in looking for some other opportunities that might suit me better

i agree with you about being able to offer something to the world and to others
