Well this kind of describes the way I feel at the moment. A
I keep thinking of the quote by David Allen: "You can do anything, but not everything." Mr. Allen was definitely onto something. I feel like I'm running just to stay in place. I thought I knew what I wanted. I mean, I want to go to college, I want to be a graphic designer and a photographer and a blogger and run half marathons and still have time for myself. But I'm wondering if that's just too much to ask for. Or maybe I'm overreacting and in a week, I'll be fine.
Right now, I'm juggling school with blogging (in the midst of re-launching my blog, but now i have to think of if i'm even going to have enough time to take the blog up to the next level, which is what i wanted to do) with running with photography and networking with other creatives and I accidentally broke my online portfolio and don't know how to fix it.
I don't mean to get all boohoo on y'alls, I guess I'm just having a no good poopoo week. Happens to the best of us, I suppose.
On a lighter note, if you're having a poo day/week too, go here.

I'm sorry to hear you're having a bad week with college and all. I've been reading your blog for a while now and I think you're an incredibly talented photographer and a wonderful blogger, I really do believe you can do all of those things and more. Things will get better, chin up :)
Oh weeks like this are the worst. Adjusting to a new lifestyle, and the expectations you had of it beforehand, is incredibly difficult. I swear I have weeks like this once a month (challenges of a new country, new language, new everything) But it will get easier. Chin up!
Hi Micaela,
I really do understand what you are going through. I had a hard time this summer applying to university abroad, planning, searching for scholarships, a job, an accommodation, while allowing time for friends, hobbies and other things that needed to be done... sometimes it was just too much to cope with. For now, I have deferred my place to next year, but I am really happy and even a little proud to see how far I have already come. I think the key essence is that you believe in yourself! And just look at everything you have already accomplished: writing your lovely blog, working as a wonderful photographer, being accepted to SCAD...
I bet you will master this challenge just as you did master all the other ones! And for today, just relax a little and make yourself a cuppa tea <3
All the best, Vivian
Aw, sorry to hear you're having a rough time. I truly believe everybody who goes to college goes through a rough period, just like you are, where you start to doubt your choices. I would definitely counsel you not to make any rash decisions, because I promise you - it does get more manageable! Starting off is always rough, eventually you will find your groove and be happy you are doing it! Best of luck!
“When you experience uncertainty, you are on the right path – so don’t give it up. You don’t need to have a complete and rigid idea of what you’ll be doing next week or next year, because if you have a very clear idea of what’s going to happen and you get rigidly attached to it, then you shut out the whole range of possibilities.”
- Deepak Chopra
Its a rough world we live in, try not to get too hung up because your work is wonderful.
I thought you should know that when I'm having a bad week I come here- your blog cheers me up :) THANK YOU <3
I love so much the first picture !
