Life As I Know It

Well, for starters, so much has changed. I mean A LOT! I have officially moved back to the United States, I am no longer living in paradise, I left my job and am waiting around for my next opportunity. Which I believe is just around the corner. At this moment I am sitting at a coffee house in downtown Wilmington, finally getting time to myself and having the creative writing juices flow out of me. For all you geniuses out there, the answer is yes. Wilmington could possible be my next chapter and stop in life. I wouldn't mind that a bit seeing as I have had three job interviews here since I've been back. It's an amazing town that has a little bit of everything, included friends that I love dearly. If you haven't been here before, Wilmington is a city of art, music, theater, entertainment studies, sports, beach, historicness (no that is not a real word, i don't think), bars, clubs, and culture. Nothing is set in stone yet though. I love the excitement that the unknown brings, but I am ready to begin and settle into a new routine.


If your wondering why I left my paradise in Panama, well I'm not even quite sure how to answer that. Bocas Del Toro was everything I thought it would be and more. I got a world of experience, met amazing people from all over, and grew tremendously as a person. But most importantly it made me appreciate home, family and friends. And after a year (well 11 months, but we'll go with a year), I was ready to come back to the US and continue my career (also known as, "Make money, get paid"). Which is what I plan to do. But unlike most people I plan to do that by only focusing on jobs that I would love doing. I'm not one to "just get by" on a something that makes you miserable. I'm going to live a life by doing things that I love doing.

So what might that be you may ask? Good question. I have no idea. Kind of a scary thought I know. But the important part is not to sit around and wait till you figure it out, because then it might be to late. I'm going to go out and find a job in something I love doing and well... we'll see from there. For me this could be in the Advertising World or continuing working in the Resort Industry. Not sure which career I want to live, but if I can just get started I'll figure the rest out as I go. And to through another loop into all this, New York might be an option as well. I just can't seem to get that place out of my mind.

Whatever I choose or whichever career chooses me, I will be so happy. I now have my friends, family, movie theaters, concerts, bars, good American television, coffee shops, target, consignment stores, and my swagga wagon back in my life.... And that's all I need for now.
