this week has been a weird turning point of sorts.
i'm finally getting something like inspiration to accomplish the things that i want to do. i have a couple skeletons to confront, but i think this is the year.
i'm done feeling sorry for myself or hating myself. i made it to architecture school. i survived the first semester, and it was one of the most difficult things i've ever done.
but i think it was the right decision, as much as i consistently continue to second-guess myself. thankfully the second-guessing has become less frequent.
I have an eye for design.
I want to create spaces for people to inhabit.
I want my projects to shape people's lives for the better.
I didn't really recognize the appeal that architecture has always had for me. But I think I might be on the road to figuring it out - it's a career of problem solving. I'm always going to face challenges in this career... figuring out the best solution for a project, be it a concert hall, a library, a dorm, or a house. Which way it needs to face, which way the light hits each surface, how it interacts with its site and surroundings - I can't wait to solve those problems. It's almost like I'm back in 6th or 7th grade on the Beaumont Middle School academic team at the Future Problem Solvers competition. Only it's actually the future and I am an actual problem solver. Funny how life works itself out sometimes. Who knew I'd end up on this path?
