Labels and Starch

I created a new blog with wordpress that I decided would be my food blog, however, I decided that I'm not that into food yet to devote an entire blog to it. I've changed the title of this one heaps of times, but I think this one describes what's going on in my life. I'm really into cooking food, I like to travel, I enjoy being strange and sometimes I have one of those "I wish I could be there" moments when I read blogs of current PC volunteers in El Salvador. I really feel like I've wasted the past 3 months on feeling bored, on thinking about the coulda-shouldas and on feeling a tiny bit guilty for having no real intention to use my brand new masters degree I just dropped several "g's" on.

I probably won't get to experience "living poor" in a developing country for 2 years, but I still have many good travel plans ahead of me: India, Japan, Peru. I also have a long life of living abroad ahead of me, which is what I ultimately wanted. I ultimately had to choose whether I wanted 2 years abroad or a possible lifetime. Sometimes having to make adult decisions sucks. Sometimes I'd rather be in El Salvador than wasting my life away either not working or as a receptionist at a dead-end job. Life is too short to spend it doing something you really don't want to be doing!

So, regardless of how many supporters I have, I'm taking control of my life and doing with it what I was meant to - create. I won't be creating traditional art like I thought I always would, but I will be creating a type of art.

Edible art.
