blue_lotus13On the weekend, I was asked whether my ideal goal was to be a newspaper reporter, and I wasn't sure how to answer. I'd be happy to end up at a big name paper, but I don't see the small town paper route as entirely desirable.
I would be happy working for an editor, or doing communications for a non-profit, or any sort of thing where I get to work with people and write.
However, my reaction to this question sort of bothered me, because I really feel undefined. I wonder if it's my own fear of commitment that makes me unable to define a goal. All I really want to do is write and travel and I'll be happy with anything that lets me do that. I guess I was bothered by my own lack of commitment to a solid goal. I like to keep my options open. But sometimes, I think I keep things too open, and I may be like a helium balloon, floating anywhere the wind takes me. I don't think it's a lack of ambition, because whenever I have a specific goal in mind, I get very determined and accomplish it. Hmmm.
