Creative Psychosis

A light at the end of the tunnel is one thing. When you can see the glowing twisted metal of the filament inside the bulb is another. I’m happy to say I’m at the point of the latter, almost able to shed some of the chains holding me down, and take the next step in my life.

Since I turned thirty, I have taken a lot of steps towards being more productive than I was in my twenties, both in my day job that pays the bills and my home life. Feel free to disagree with me, but I think if you’re not on your way towards your true calling by the time you turn thirty, then you need to reevaluate your life.

Sure, we all got distractions, it comes with the territory. But I think your twenties are about getting the pieces of the puzzle on the table. You may not be able to put them together right away, but at least you can see them in front of you.

For me, now that my home life and day-job are *almost* stable for the most part, it’s time to start putting together the jigsaw puzzle. The puzzle is the business venture of myself and the lovely Ms. S.Rod, one where many pieces are already on the table. I know we can put it together.

Yes, I know… I’m touting the pipe dream once again. But at heart, I’m really an optimistic guy, I swear. A friend told me the other day that I am often encompassed by negativity and it distorts my perspective on everything, including my dreams and aspirations. While I suppose it is difficult to look at yourself from such a ‘god’s-eye-view’, I try when I can. I don’t want to be writing blog entries about bad luck forever!   :twisted:

So the truth of it is that I’m really a closet optimist. I’d let the positive element out more if I could just catch a break from all of my efforts. Whether such a break comes via fate or via perseverance, it doesn’t matter— I just want to be completing my puzzle. Cheers.
