The past few days I had a realization that I may never be the graphic designer I wanted to be. It felt like the saddest thing in the world for a few hours. Of course I forced myself to forget the idea or the possibility of this. After all that's negative thinking and not allowed. If you think you can't you can't, if you think you can you can...
A lot of 27 year olds right now find themselves doing whatever pleases them and while I am happy to be where I'm at I do realize that because where I'm at there are bigger priorities in the picture that matter to me much more than becoming a workaholic.
However, I can't seem to set aside the idea of wanting to be much more than what I am today. Where ever the tomorrow may be of one thing I'm sure: I want it to be a better tomorrow along with my family.
Figuring out the equation of balancing life, love, parenting, careers and friendships can at times make me feel a little bit like Einstein... trying to figure out at one point all these mathematical, scientific equations!! Ayyy! Anyhow... in the end I find myself in a race and I'm nowhere near the finish line. I'm willing to go the extra mile.
I couldn't help to look up Einstein and I ran into one quote that I find suitable for tonight:
"The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been kindness, beauty, and truth. The trite subjects of human efforts, possessions, outward success, luxury have always seemed to me contemptible.
* See what happens when I post late at night... too much deep thinking and too much information *
Below is a picture of a cake I made for my mom. I think it turned out beautifully. It was the first time I used the 'fondant' as the frosting. The middle part is a twinkie covered in pink fondant. While fondant looks beautifully on cakes I find that it tastes terrible so next time I do this I rather stick to real creamy frosting. ~ goodnight! ~
