Just in general I’ve been finding things boring. When people ask me what’s up or what’s new, I have basically nothing. How I miss the student days where I had time to take trips and everyone was around for parties and fun activities. I need to get back to experiencing London more--exploring neighbourhoods, trying new bars and restaurants, going to events, and traveling outside of London. If you want to join me in these endeavours drop me a line.
A friend of mine passed on this (apparently) Italian saying to me: Happiness is having something to do, someone to love, and something to look forward to. Back during the MBA I was feeling optimistic about the “something to do” part of the equation, but I’m finding work directionless and unfulfilling. And I feel like I’m banging my head against a wall with job applications. I’m at a loss for what to do. In a way, I feel like I’ve regressed. I’m currently doing a contract job that is not challenging and has no future. Shouldn’t I have had this job when I was 22? Shouldn’t I now be building a career in my chosen field? Well, I always was a late bloomer.
The second part, “someone to love” is equally pitiful. I am so thankful for my friends and family, but its about damn time I got myself a boyfriend. For some reason I can’t seem to find a situation where there is both compatibility (intellectual, interests, values) AND chemistry. And lately I’ve become a hermit. Why bother? I suppose I’ll have to start online dating or something. I did eHarmony before and I hated it. It was a lot of work, and all the guys I met felt like my brother. Ew.
Well, at least I have things to look forward to! I am looking forward to some sushi and girl-time on Friday night, the Affordable Art fair on Sunday, and I’m looking forward to NYC in April/May! And hopefully I’ll have a trip to Jordan and Israel to look forward to too.
And I’m looking forward to losing some weight on this damn diet. I can’t tell if anything has changed. I’m probably going to have to break down and weigh myself this weekend. I’m keen to know if there has been progress, as I have my eye on some dresses...
