Reevaluating

For as long as I have lived on my own, I have had a framed postcard placed in a prominent place in my home.
The postcard is a photograph of a newspaper stand and the stand is filled with newspapers. I cannot read most of the titles, as the stand is from somewhere in Europe. The reason I first purchased the card was to help me remember my goals.
I said, “One day I will be published in every one of those newspapers.”
It’s hard for me to remember that girl, as I have not been in the industry for almost a year now.
I think it’s still something I want. But I am so far away from it. And I am not sure I know how to get back.
I was unpacking some of my stuff this evening; most of it has been in boxes since I made the move home from Lloyd, and the card and the frame were among the things to come out.
I just don’t know where it should go.

    Heidi I am so happy to see a new post from you! I am sure you will find a place for your card, and you know what else? I am sure you will find some kind of passion again, be it journalism or otherwise! I too have lost that ambition & drive that I think I once had. Maybe one day it'll come back! Until them, just live your life and don't be afraid to try something just to try! Love you.
