Spending the day at my cousin's graduation party brought me in contact with the extended network of family friends, those people who make a cameo every few years. They all wanted to know two things: how I like living in Chicago and what I'm doing with my career. I like Chicago just fine and I'm taking the latter day by day. The open-ended response appeased some and perplexed others.
Today was one of those days where I almost just wanted to pick a direction, any direction, because not knowing felt so taxing. Then I reminded myself that my reaction was elicited from a collection of external forces. In reality, I have purposefully chosen the path that I'm taking and there are reasons for it. I'll find the appropriate next step in my journey. I still believe that.
