Wondeful post girl, truely inspiring! It does take a significant strength of character to challenge what you perceive as “granted” and “mainstream” in life (e.g. your work). I have been down that road in the past and my current predicament is not far from that state either. So, I guess this post resonated with me just a tad bit more.

Good luck with your future endeavours and keep enjoying life!

Thanks for a wonderful post Zhu and yes life is too short to be slogging all our lives and I think it is great to just go with your heart.

Now I know why you are so creative Zhu, it’s in your genes

i work in finance. it’s not what one normally considers a “creative” job. it’s not photography, poetry or oil painting, for instance.
but like all else in life, being creative encompasses everything one does. (and nononono, i don’t mean creative accounting!) it’s imagining possibilities and putting ideas into action.
it is like applying paint, if you will, to a financial canvas.
or put another way, i get to use both the right and left sides of my brain. the left side is logical, the right side is artistic. they are mutually supportive.

What a great post! (I’m still trying to catch up after a few weeks’ break from blog-reading… I have a long way to go!)

As a non-traditional person with a crazy CV in a tight job market, I get lots of confused looks from agency recruiters trying to figure me out. I guess I’m used to it now, that I’m a square peg in a round hole.

But I totally understand the desire to want to create something for this world rather than just count the hours, days, months, years to retirement and that Almighty Pension. That’s why I left the government after not much more than a year.

I do my best thinking on those long road trips I take to New York, Philadelphia, Quebec City (all are 800kms or so from Toronto), because I have eight solid hours of time just to think. People don’t understand how I can stand all that driving, but I say because it’s rare to have that much time to think without interruption. It’s a great block of time to dream.
