it's just a phase...

once you surpass the age of 25 can you still call it a quarter life crisis? does it become soul searching or something of that sort? either way the past 3.5 years i've gone through so many phases it's as if i'm 5 again and during each one i'll claim i'm stuck in a quarter life crisis...the difference between now and when i was 5 is my phases used to be types of play, one sec im into ballet, the next gymnastics, then soccer, the piano and so on...now phases generally relate to jobs or where i think i might want my future to head...

first there was was baking...i could be a pastry chef or a cake decorator...right? it didn't take me long tp realize my skills were barely up to par.
then there was childcare and maybe becoming a doula. after some time i knew that realistically being a nanny was just a job not a career for me.

next elizabeth and i decided we should start our own sangria business. this was a fun endeavor which involved many batches of sangria with lots of tasting and altering...simultaneously, i though i should probably try and win the lottery...

i didn't win.

after this i decided it was time to be "realistic". sales seemed like it could be a good job with a future...

while trying to convince my self being a sales rep was a good job for me, i figured since i'd been working in the health food/store industry for 2 years i should go back to school for nutrition...

surprise! this phase ended and now it's back to the start. sort of like going round and round on  a monopoly board.

i guess i forgot about some other phases, like being a barista or a receptionist, doing some landscape design and such. anyways,  back to square one i go. however, this time i plan on deeming it something different than "quarter-life crisis."i'm up for suggestions...
