The Conclusion I Have Come To

As of late, things in my life have been a bit chaotic. I have decided that, while I enjoy being a 'productive' part of society (ie. normal job outside the home, go to work every day, come home every day, cook, clean, etc.) I *need* to do something creative every day in order to feel like I have truly accomplished something. However, I find that I often run out of the time and/or energy to do those creative things that I love. Which then throws me 'out of balance' so to speak. I wish that there was some way to do what I LOVE to do, and still be able to survive in the real world. Has anyone figured out how to accomplish this? Or, are we all just slaves to the never ending wheel that appears to move society as a whole? Because I, for one, would like to know that secret (if you are), so that I can do the things I love more often and feel complete.

Life As I Know It

So much of my life is confusing right now. It seems as though I do not know my up from my down and my right from my left. I have lost my entire sense of direction, and feel like I have lost my 'self' as well. If life came with an instruction manual, I believe it would be so much easier.
