It’s nearly 1am. I don’t know why I always have this need to blog when I can’t sleep. My restless mind is keeping me up. This must be a common problem for designers. The foundation of our careers is based on the judgements of others. We never really feel like we are doing enough. There is always new software to learn and articles to read”oh and don’t forget we need to know everything.

Regardless, I feel okay with it. Much like I enjoy running up steep hills. I enjoy the challenge. However, creative minds get bored easily. This leads me to stop and evaluate where I am and where I want to go. I have recently been considering the Peace Corps. I feel the need to go get some perspective, to do something that can change someone’s life, to take a break. Sometimes I wish that someone could just hand me a spreadsheet of my life outlining all the possibilities and outcomes. Then again, that would probably just bore me.
