Well, seeing as tomorrow today is the start of another lap in the race of my life, let me look back at everything I've gone past so far.
Checkpoints:
- Graduating from college
- Eurotrip!!!
- Getting a job pretty quickly - twice
- Getting in touch with old friends especially from Poveda
- Making many new friends especially through cosplay and RODCon
- Getting in touch with more senior college friends
- Learning more about myself and my capabilities
- Making the decision to stay fit and healthy - and actually keeping it
- NOT getting too sick, yay
- Remembering that many other things, and not my whims, must command my attention
- Reviving Reach Out Otaku, bit by bit
- Enjoying my job, finally (well it's not all THAT good, but I'm finding it much better now)
Chicanes:
- Choosing to be an accounts manager in the marketing-advertising field, instead of a journalist, a writer or a production assistant
- Becoming the family breadwinner and taking over my older sister's duties (I didn't expect it to happen MUCH sooner)
- Being forced to confront my shadows (since the one thing that occupied my faculties enough to keep them in check and not remind me of them was school)
Roadblocks:
- Being an account executive in one of the crappiest below-the-line marketing companies alive, where I was hardly paid at all for all the work I did
- Lack of time or memorable bonding moments with my blockmates, some other college friends and ICTUS
- Never having enough money for myself or my loved ones
- Never having enough time for my loved ones
- Not knowing enough of the chores to do around the house (my sisters and I pretty much divided chores among ourselves and never really switched responsibilities)
- Spending my birthday working, and with very few of the people I wanted to spend it with so badly
Pit Stops:
- Turning 22
- Graduating from college
- Working and earning money
- Turning 23
Though I'm still not as recharged as I'd hoped to be, I'm definitely ready to go through the next lap of my life.
