On the topic of: the future

Guys,

I have set this post to publish on the day I am in class giving my final course presentation... ever.

Studying architecture was one of those things I wanted to do since I was tiny.
I used to read blueprints for fun when the other kids were reading Dolly magazine. Such a weirdo...

So as you read this, I am probably in class, sweaty-palmed, heart-palpitating, sick to my stomach with nerves over the presentation.... and also VERY excited.

The future is freakishly, dauntingly unknown. I have BIG dreams and I 100% intend to achieve them. ASAP. But my brain is in a bit of a knot trying to plan where to begin.

This past year has been an eye-opener for me. Maybe it's being married to the world's most supportive man, or maybe it's growing up and figuring out where my real passions lie, but I am actually confident enough to believe I can go somewhere with my ideas.

{If you knew how fearful I was growing up and the ridiculous amount of time it took for me to gain any self-esteem, you would know that's kind of a big deal for me.}

I'm not 100% sure what the future holds for me. What I do know is that I am crazily, fanatically (and at times frustratingly) wired for interior design.
Now THAT is something that makes my heart go super-bass, na' mean?

Did you take a leap of faith to achieve your career dreams? Do you still have them?
Watch this space, homies!
I'm back tomorrow with a bit of a DIY post. :)

  2. I hope your presentation went well Amy. Sounds like it's been a great year for you. I say 'follow your dreams and your passion'. I live and breathe interiors as well. Training as a graphic designer and working in the advertising & design industry for years gave me an awesome background, but it's the world of interiors that I want to be working in ' love it! x

  3. Happy last presentation day! What a BIG day! Hope it went well :) You will do great things, my friend. I know it. Such a talent. I feel the same way sometimes, too. I want to start my business ASAP, like you said, but know I should probably work for someone first. Stressful to think about at times!
