Job Wise: In December of 2005 I was working in my first real full-time job in television at a post-production house as a motion graphics design assistant. Over the summer I had moved to NYC and started at another post house, but the facility shut down three months after I started (bummer!). I was working a lot of long hours, but loving my job.
A Few Memorable Moments: Sweet hubs and I were stoked to see our first snowfall living in NYC. That was a great day. I took my first trip to Philly with some girlfriends, which was a blast. The MTA strike happened shortly before Christmas that year, which is something I'll always remember - it was totally weird. There's no other way to describe that - talk about the worst commute to work ever.
Looking back at my life in 2005, I had to go back and read in my journal. I used to write so much more than I do now! That is one thing I regret that I've stopped doing so often. It's nice to look back and see how I was feeling, what I was thinking and how I viewed my daily life. My mind was a lot less cynical and a lot more open and gentle. I was just finally adjusting to being a REAL adult in the sense of moving from being a student to doing my first REALLY big move and getting my first real career-worthy job. I was still learning so much and still so eager to find the next intellectually stimulating experience. Don't get me wrong, I haven't necessarily lost all of those qualities, they're just a little less... vibrant than they used to be. I think that just comes with growing up - the sparkle gets a little dull.
So maybe after seeing the difference between 25 and 30, I need to find a way to put the sparkle back into my outlook on life. Maybe that's my New Year's resolution for 2010 to 2011.
Where has my sparkle gone? I think I have a little exploring to do.
