Accentuate the Positive! :)
It's nuts, I know... As much as I try to keep this blog updated, still months manage to go by and I leave no posts. I could promise you that I will do it more often, but the truth is I don't know when I will have the time to write next, so I suppose you will all just have to manage reading about me and the things that happen to me with no clear timeline. But look at it this way - at least every now and then you will get a nice surprise on these pages... ;) LOL!
Well anyway, a lot of changes are happening to me lately. I started work - my very first job in a very cool marketing agency, I am taking my driving license course (was definitely about time I did it :-P), I'm also doing an international certification computer course and I am contemplating starting a postgraduate course in September. It may seem like a heavy schedule and it really is quite demanding, but, at the same time, it leaves me with a very good feeling of doing something constructive with my life. Ever since I was a kid I was never very good at balancing things in my life - I would do 10 million things at once, jumping from one to the other as my interests changed (and boy, did they change fast and drastically!).
It is only in the last year and a half or so that I have managed to learn how to actually create structure and balance in my life and still I find it to be quite a complex activity. You see, in my mind there is constant chaos. Don't get me wrong, I'm not nuts or losing my mind or anything like that ;), it's just that I tend to think of (and do) several completely different things at the same time and without good planning and keeping an overview of everything that I think and do I easily get completely lost and confused - to the point where I develop a very strong headache and let everything go for a while. And today, when I have become a young professional person, there is not very much room for chaos or mistakes. It's quite stressful, but it also gives you a good feeling of control over one's life. One of my friends would now start laughing at me and say that "Life is to be lived like jazz!!!" and yes, I do agree with it - at least in part, but, also, you can not always just go with the flow and take things as they come... sometimes you do need to make things happen yourself. And isn't jazz actually the product of musicians taking initiative and making things happen themselves? I think it is... :)
So, not to go into this huge discussion about jazz as a metaphor for life :-P, the thing I wanted to say (or better to say - write) is that no matter what things happen to me in life, I am looking forward to seeing just how far I can go and how "jazzy" I can make my life be. And if I fall flat on my face - who cares... at least I will know what NOT to do or how not to do it next time around...
And yes, I DO like jazz, too! :)
