Where does the sign point to now?

It seems that everyone is moving on except me. Friends are getting ahead in their career. People are hooking up. And some are even getting married. It seems as though some kind of development is happening in everyone’s life except me.

And in a way, I think it’ my fault.
I have no idea to what direction my life should be heading.

And I’m getting bored.
It’s not that I’ve perfected my job, quite the contrary actually.
I’m still quite the delinquent.
And it seems that I’m half-baking everything – my writing and that something else that I'm trying to do that I believe I don’t have the right to utter yet.

But I do miss dealing with people, dearly.
I miss meeting interesting people.
Don’t get me wrong. We have quite the number of interesting homeowners.
But most of these homeowners are either married or about a decade older than me.
It’s just sometimes hard to connect with people who are in a different stage in their lives. They have dealt with perhaps the same problems that I am going through right now. They might be plagued by the same issues. But that would have been of a different time, and different circumstances.
And that counts a lot in my book.

I’m so lost.
And I don’t even know where to get a compass.

How can I unstick myself?

It seems that most of my friends are getting promoted.
Or atleast, some remarkable development is happening to their lives.
Most are doing well in their careers that they can hardly handle the workload. Some are getting married or worse, some just got married.

Its not that I want to get married anytime soon. Hell no.
But a little bit of positive developments in my lovelife is pretty much welcome.

And well in my career.

I am not getting anywhere.

Its not that I have perfected my job. Quite the contrary.
Still the delinquent who hardly passes her stories on time.

But I just really don't know where am I heading?
Should I go and persue writing or styling? I really don't know.
But its quite uplifting that I have offers to do some styling jobs. Really. Its like they quite trust my taste. :)

But I do certainly miss meeting and talking to people.
Don't get me wrong. I love dealing with beautiful things.
Its just that, I miss the human interaction that's supposed to come with writing. Yes, I do interview homeowners and some of them have led quite interesting lives. (just like the one i interviewed today.) But I do miss meeting people my age.

A very successful friend of mine (who already made the i-am-an-icon status) told me two things.

1. SAVE. SAVE. SAVE. IT IS NOT TOO EARLY TO SAVE.
2. GO FOR STYLING. IT WILL SEEM AS THOUGH YOU CAN DO MORE IF YOU CAN BOTH STYLE AND WRITE.

A WRITER STYLIST.

How long does it take?

A day. A month. A year. A Lifetime.
I personally don't know.

But I do believe that somehow, I'm getting there.
I am able to say his name out loud now.

And I would like to think that's progress.

What's the next step?

I just hit the quarter-life mark a couple of weeks ago.
And it didn't come without any changes.

So, now I'm trying to figure out where I'm supposed to be heading.
