Catching up on life, love, learning

So, it's been just over a year since I wrote. A lot has happened. I'm now single, after the enormous realization that I want to put my career first, and any thoughts of starting a family far, far away. Even though I think I'd be a great mother, mothering is not what I feel my purpose is, at this time or, perhaps, ever. I've carved out that option for myself - that I may be someone who is never a mother. And equally, I may be someone who is. Only time will tell.
I delved into my childhood, and discovered what I learned and didn't learn from my parents, what I got and didn't get from growing up in the family I grew up in, and I've realized a lot about myself, including that I wouldn't trade my family for anyone else's. Happily, my relationships within my family have gotten deeper as a result of that work and I've come to know myself more clearly, and become more honest with myself and what I want.
Now, I'm working on what I want. I'm clarifying my career goals, creating a vision board, writing, etc. I have a name for my some day film company. I'm working on a few scripts. I'm meeting more and more writers, directors, producers, and hyphenates of all those labels.
And I'm slowly but surely making this place, this City of Angels, my home. Meeting more people in my neighborhood, literally putting roots in the ground via my garden, and putting energy into organizing my bedroom and desk so they're not just places I sleep in and store stuff.
Maybe this whole process was part of my Saturn Returns. Maybe it was turning 30. Maybe everyone does this at some point. I hope so. I've learned so much, and knowledge is power. Self-knowledge is power-full.
