*DING!*
I guess i just leveled up once again... I am one year away from having lived one third of my life -assuming, that is, that we humans live about 100 years, give or take- and for the first time in a while, things look... err... ok.
Not glass half full, nor glass half empty kinda deal. More along the lines of the glass being just 50% filled with air, and the other 50% with your liquid of choice. "Por la mitad" -right in the middle- of you will.
After spending a third of a third of my life trying to achieve the goal to be where i want to be... i have come to the realization that i now must find the answer to the dreaded question of "Now What?".
Before, i always had my eyes on my goal -animation school- and that was what drove me forward. That was the fuel that kept me going. EVERYTHING i did was a step to get to where i am today. EVERYTHING.
And i got what i wanted. I got where i wanted to be. I am here... so, no what?
Soon it will be time for me to answer this question. Of course, right off the bat i can tell you that i must get good grades and polish my performance to a "feature quality" level, in order to get a job... etc etc etc.
Yeah, those are things that are taken for granted and included in the package of the whole "I wanna go to Animation School" goal. What i mean is that now i must sit down and find my new north, my new destination. It's like i have finally been able to level up to the proper level, and acquired the necessary items and skills to be able to go into that next area... The Next Quest. -I have found the Golden Fleece, now what the fuck do i do with it?
I'm gonna take this few days i've got off and do a lot of soul searching... a lot of thinking... and try to put an answer to this new paradigm before me. I know it won't be easy... but i'll give it my best.
Like i said before, i am one year away from having lived a third of my life... taking that third as a whole, i have lived a third of it as a kid, the middle third as a teenager, and the last third as a young adult; it took me 2/3 of this whole to find my north. I know i will be able to find my new north a bit easier this time.
In the meantime, I want to thank all of you who took some time outta your day and wish me a happy birthday. It really means a lot to me... specially now that things are being redefined in my life. To all of you, huzzah!
