I also bought a domain name for my own website, which has no content yet. If you want to see the digital nakedness, it's here. Want to help me with the website? Get in touch with me. I'll welcome the input.
In my attempts to finish the resume today, I hit a formatting hiccup that had me frustrated. I emailed several friends, and one of them was able to help, thank goodness.
Another of my friends wasn't able to solve the issue, but she provided me with the following email exchange, which I found encouraging and enjoyable. Names and some details have been changed or omitted--sometimes anonymity helps.
I feel like I am in the same spot with what you said about goals and passions for my life. So you are truly not alone if that helps at all.
Someone told me the other day they thought that my life went off course when I went to Seminary.
Now I answer phones.
So trust me, you are not alone and this may be terrible of me but it makes me feel a bit better that although most people cannot really empathize with what I'm feeling; you can.
I think that you need to either write humorist essays (which I have recently decided is my dream career) or host your own radio show. Perhaps both. I would be a sponsor.
I replied:
This will be my opening song (on the radio at this very moment, and I feel like the very sound of it--not even the words--is my life right now. A little hopeful, a little urgent, a little desperate, a little driven, a little aimless.
I included a link to my favorite song of the moment--it's Young the Giant's "Cough Syrup". Pretty much encapsulates things. Enjoy:
In the meantime, I'm accepting donations for my new radio show/first essay collection.
