I'm taking a break
From matching Havaianas and blind persistence.
To find some way out of the murkiness that has clouded my big picture.
The reasons that seemed so compelling to me before
Have somehow become shrouded by months of circumstantial (re)adjustments;
Like a misplaced earring that has fallen into the narrow gap between velvet and silver;
Like a child lost in the christmas shopping crowds.

In the weeks to come I'll occupy myself with beads and my sewing kit,
I've rediscovered the crafty urges that periodically remind me of my cross-stitching childhood.
I spent last Sunday morning with eye pins, head pins, glass beads, and expat mums.
Last night I spent 3 hours crouched over sachets of pretty little things,
Losing my frayed nerves and overworked mind in a new pet project.

Two weeks before I decimate my consulting career.
It's part of my self-betterment plan.
Groundbreaking milestone: moving my lazy arse out of home
Second: handing in that resignation letter
Third: Taking the first step to actualising that jewellery business
~somewhere in between now and the next milestone I'll need to book myself a ticket out of Singapore~
Third: wandering into the world of advertising
