It's always interesting the way you feel when you do something you feel like you're supposed to be doing then go back to "real life" and clock in at a job you get no joy from. I know it sounds cheesy but I was at the Renaissance Faire yesterday with my family and some friends. A friend that I have done sword fighting and historical European martial arts with for years pitched in and helped me finally buy my first helmet, the first massive step for me to get into armored fighting. It's something I love and a community I feel at home in. It's weird to take the day off and do something like that and then go back to your desk job. I look forward to having a "job" someday that fills me with purpose rather than just pays the bills.
