Ok, so it's been awhile....

Welp. It is almost 3 in the morning, and I'm sitting here in my bed just kind of pondering. Thinking about nothing in particular. Can't really sleep. Trying to find a good sense of direction in life, seeing as I just got home from serving a full-time mission for the Lord in 台灣 (that's Taiwan). Life seems a lot more scattered and a lot more complicated outside of mission life, let me tell ya. If you have any advice or tips, it would be gladly accepted, and probably even appreciated if you end up giving me stuff of legitimate worth. I also do plan on updating this blog with at least a couple of little things I've come up with over the years. Be excited.

  1. Early morning soul searching eh?

    I'm probably not the best person to give post-mission advice, but life for me, at this point time, feels a lot like how you described you're feeling. It's a new stage in life where everything is confusing, complicated, and a tad overbearing. I feel like I'm just blundering through it all, grasping at the slightest bit of stability, trying not to fall off into the void of insanity.

    Hopefully some of my experience can be of some help. School is a very good thing, even if you don't know where you're headed. take a couple generals and a couple classes you feel you might enjoy as a career.

    Work is much the same, but a word of advice, if you can, get a job that lets you interact with your coworkers and customers. A job where you work alone can drive you nuts.

    A big thing that helps me out is reading. It helps me forget the stress and complexity of life for at least a little bit. (by the way, if you need some good book suggestions, I got a few that you may be interested in)
