It’s been a long, long time since I last update my blog so here is a little run-down of what has been going on.
Work is still work. Day in and day out, hundreds of calls every month. Each call seems to be identical to the last. I’ve been trying to keep focused on my work, but I find it to be increasingly difficult as the days progress. I know what I am capable of doing when it comes to my job, but it seems that every single opportunity that presents itself, something has to get in the way. I constantly feel as if I take one step forward, followed by three steps back. There are days when all I want to do is give up. True as that may be, I would never give up on my team or my supervisor, it’s not the right thing to do. I try to keep a positive attitude and a smile on my face.
Constantly I feel my personal life makes things even more difficult when it comes to things in general. My family is leaving in 2 months. The time is finally upon us in which I will be here, by myself, surrounded by the outside world and the few friends I do have. It begs the question of what’s going to happen. My decision has been made and I am going to stay, but the real question lies therein of “will I be able to handle it?” It’s not out of the ordinary for a son or daughter to move out of their parent’s house and start their own life, but when that son or daughter lives over 3,000 miles away from the nearest relative, it is extremely difficult. There have been occasions in which my family will go on vacation for a few days, and I have gotten the taste of what it would be like, and for one or two weeks it’s not so bad. Truthfully though, I can only imagine what any longer period of time would be like. My decision stands as I will continue to live here in Washington, but the stress of family members encouraging me to move, wanting to establish a name for myself, my job, the few friends I do have…it’s a lot.
My daily vlogs and Poor Man’s Meals are both still strong. I’m coming near the end of the season for Poor Man’s Meals and as far as the show is concerned, I’d say it was a success. I’m looking forward to producing more episodes as time progresses and looking forward to bigger and better things as I try to show people out there that yes, I am a videographer and this is what I can do. It is my dream to go independent like that, film the occasional wedding or party or what have you.
This is all for now. I hope you have a good rest of your day and I will sincerely try to keep up on the blog as much as I do with vlogging.
