In case you didn't know I am currently managing three blogs, each with a different purpose. Although I haven't discussed it much here, theres been a certain amount of turmoil in my life recently surrounding the issue of identity (and the ongoing deconstruction of mine over these past few years in Japan). In short, I really don't know "who I am" anymore or what it is I want for the future (and I'm not just talking about career stuff, which I never really could figure out and have now learned doesn't really define me as a person anyway).

Its pretty heavy stuff, yo! :D

I'll try to write about it more specifically soon, but in the meantime I just want to say that I've been really lucky to have some amazing people in my life - not all of them are necessarily friends either - who have shed some insight into things. Today I woke up feeling really thrilled about that.

Before I wrap this strange post let me pose this question, because I think it relates so much to my own personal identity issues: If you had to define "who you are" or "who you want to be" without ANY reference to a job, what would that description look like? As I ask myself what is most important in my life, and what it is I want to contribute to the world, I realize that sometimes the energy I expend(ed) work towards specific career goals doesn't necessarily get me there.

More to come!
