Sunny Side Up

Sometimes when I’m on my own just walking to and from the train station with just my music I like to think about what I would be like had I been born into a completely different situation. For example, what if I had been born to a rich Texas oil tycoon or hard-working farmers in the Australian outback. Or, what if I was born to a young single mother who simply couldn’t cope and left me on the door step of a convent and the kind Sisters there raised me as one of their own. I would know nothing about the outside world. How would I react to seeing a computer for the first time?

In short, my brain is kind of scary when I’m allowed to think.

I can’t believe it’s been so long since I last posted here. My life has changed quite a bit so I suppose I should get to updating my “About” page. Most things have stayed the same though, except I am now part of the full-time working world and actually a contributing member of society. Somewhat. I pay taxes, I own a vehicle (well, I’m paying off a vehicle that I will own in 5 years time) and I have a chair and a computer in an office-type place where papers are shuffled, stapled and photocopied in a day’s work. And I’m really happy with it except I feel that it’s not the best use of my Honours Bachelors of Commerce. I don’t feel as challenged or stimulated as I could be, but I suppose it’s a good starting point. And it’s not that I give much weight to titles but I don’t like telling people I’m an admin assistant because I don’t feel like it encompasses everything I do. But I don’t want to outright lie either.

I guess selfishly I just want more out of life. I don’t think I’ve experienced all there is. God made the world so vast and so full that I feel like in order to appreciate all of it, I need to seek more of it.

I really am blessed to have the luxury to be able to seek it and I hope that I never forget to be grateful for it.
