100th blog, 25th birthday

I'm 25 now. I am not so young as to think i'm now a grown up and know all there is to know.
I do feel that 25 is significant. I was concerned about where i'd be when i turned 25. Living at home and working at barnes and noble part time was not an option. I feel more confident recently that the decision to come back east and work here at the shakespeare theatre for the season was the right one. Whether it is followed by more work in theatre or something entirely different, this was a decisive step for me.
I'm also finding that there are a great number of benefits to my life sabbatical (aka my 8 months at home). I spent the first 2 months recuperating from ...various things. And as anyone who is a regular reader of this blog knows, i spent a good 6 months obsessively thinking about careers and my future. With no real answer. But in the process I find that i came to peace with a lot of things. I found some perspective. Working with Sarah, working at B&N with people from all walks of life all searching for the right thing. Walking away from theatre for 2 years to do some very real world things and come back to it. I think I am able to see things in better perspective than i was able to 2 years ago. Or even one year ago.
Life Lesson Learned.
I know that the knowledge I have gained is entirely personal, and the understandings i have may not be true for any other person, but i know what is true for me. I even understand that my own truths and beliefs probably will change. A determination to have perspective allows me to be open and flexible when i am introduced to new ideas and new ways of doing things. (at least that is the plan)

I wish very much at this moment in the tech marathon i'm running that i could take a moment to take a day to myself, to simply be by myself and with myself. But tech is upon us and time is limited, so i will use my time and do what i can. finding zen in 30 minutes or less
