Lightbulb

Take a second and imagine a cartoon scientist scuttling around their little cartoon laboratory doing sciency things. Maybe they resemble your best friend or maybe they resemble you. That's not the point; I'm getting off topic.

Anyways, your little cartoon scientist is doing experiments but they're unsure of how to proceed. They sick into a pose that resembles The Thinker and out of nowhere, a glowing cartoon lightbulb appears over their head. They have an idea.

So maybe we don't get giant glowing lightbulbs appearing over us every time we solve a difficult math problem or make the right choice but we certainly feel those eureka moments with every inch of our being.

I don't know what happened exactly but as of late, some switch has been flipped. Not everything is perfect—I am decidedly less in love with my career path than I was a year ago. I am quite unsure of what direction to head in but due to that confusion, I am taking the time to try my hand at different things. Maybe offering my writing skills to film projects will help me realign my thoughts.

There are plenty of great things to consider in this as well. I have never felt more confident in myself. I feel more in control of myself and my choices than I did last semester and I like to think that it shows. I am trying to surround myself with things that make me happy and healthy.

These lightbulb moments are rare and fleeting, yet they come with a sort of weight attached to them. You can either take the plunge and see what happens or you can let them float away, assuming that you know best. Trust me, the old you rarely knows best. Maybe take a chance on a new start.
