I think know I am becoming restless. I graduated college eight weeks ago, found a townhouse and moved out of my parents’ house four weeks ago, and told myself to start writing a play two weeks ago.

Welp, here I am. Trying to muster up enough creative spirit/muse/motivation/anything to start writing while at the same time doing my best to HUSTLE for my first job post-college. Not sure how to do either of those things, but they’re probably not unrelated.

My restlessness comes from frustration and stress in both my creative and professional goals. But I think it comes from my personal happenings. I mean, I did just graduate from college and I did just move out of my parents’ house. That’s huge, no matter who you are. I’ve gone through this enormous transition, impressing my parents that I found a townhouse and pushing myself to land a job. I’m putting pressure on myself to be the best. To be perfect. I know that’s not how it is… maybe I’m naive.

Anyway. Maybe putting my goals on the internet will help me to both keep myself accountable and to clear my head:

Creative: Write a play (first draft) by August 19th.
Professional: Get a job by the end of the month.

I’ll let you know how it goes.
