I've been really comfortable with regular life recently, which is a big change from this time of year in previous years. In those times I was in education, but now I'm just having my first experiences with work and I feel sorta content with it. But then I can't help but ask myself: is this what I'm settling for? Sure it's comfy and if I get a job I'll finally get my own money to go places, but have I just left behind all my old career aspirations? I was in a film course last year; now I'm back in my hometown gladly stacking shelves in a store.

Basically I'm just here wondering if it's okay for me to be like this for a while before I decide to try to pursue my dreams again. Is it okay to settle with this for now, or am I just wasting time? Maybe I ought to try out new things while I lead a quieter life to make up for that. I just need to find the motivation for that.
