A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING
I was mentioning to a couple of people lately that I find it strange that I have found myself where I am.
A few years ago I was pretty happy with my social life and didn't have any concerns about where I was supposed to fit in or where I was going to hang out. My main worry, really, was the fact that I had no idea what I was going to do for work or even what to do.
Today the tables have turned. I know exactly what I want to do and what I will continue to want to do for years - graphic design. Only now I'm struggling to figure out where I fit in, not only socially but also within the city. I have lived in Etobicoke, the West end and the East end. I'm in the process of moving back to the West end where I feel as though I will seriously dig in and get to know it. I'm also working hard to meet new people and make some really great friends. All in all my social life is active, but I'm not entirely sure where I fit in just yet.
I was saying to a friend earlier tonight how for a while I kept wanting to go back to this club on Church St. I'm not sure why because I hate drunk people and crowds and if you know me you'll know that if you add gay people to the mix I like it even less. And yet I really wanted to go. Well, on St. Patty's Day we ended up at this very bar and I was pretty underwhelmed. I suppose I just needed to get it out of my system or to remind myself why I'm never there. It's not my thing, not really. I prefer pubs, cooking and drinking wine with friends, etc. That's more my speed. :)
I have a friend coming over on Sunday to help me move a lot of the small stuff over to the new place. He's got a car so we can just load it up. Which reminds me, I still have to call the movers to set up a day to do the big move!
Anyway, now that I have a focus on work, what I want and where I want to go, it's time for me to focus on my social life again. It's a tough one though - as a homebody I would often rather sit at home reading, cooking or listening to music. It's a work in progress. We'll leave it at that. :P
Later all... ;)
