POTENTiality

This morning I am filled with a sublime bliss, an awareness of and comfort with the possibilities of my life.

In the past couple of days I have been inspired to be a food and travel writer. Why?
First and foremost, these are two aspects of life of which I am very, very fond. I am passionate about food and travel. Travel is one of the values by which I've decided to live. Food, beyond its necessity, is a glorious event. I love food. I consider myself a foodie; I've been raised a farmer, with fresh vegetables all the time. Perhaps I've been spoiled, perhaps blessed. Maybe both.
I think every person should have the opportunity to enjoy the types of food I have, in the ways I have.
This is part of my greater vision for the world. All people have the right to healthy, delicious, affordable food. And why not be the farmer/gardener yourself? Backyard farms anyone?
Back to writing.
To study writing/literature and develop my voice as a writer, this is my overall academic goal. That, in addition to cultivating a sincere knowledge of and appreciation for the diversity and complexity of the world around me. I plan to study history, literature, philosophy, sociology and the like, in order to develop a versatility, a comfort with writing.
As a travel/food writer, the idea would be to receive income by doing things I love, eating and traveling.
My academic plan, today, is to receive two General Studies A.A. degrees from Palomar w/ emphases in the Arts and Humanities (the 2nd comprised mostly of a continued study in Spanish), then to transfer to a university where I will receive a Bachelors in something having to do with English Literature. Then, and this has just re-emerged as a desire in the past two days, then I would like to attend the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Italy. There I would receive a Masters in a field yet to be determined.
That's today's plan. And it feels good.
