"simple it's not, I'm afraid you will find, for a mind-maker-upper to make up her mind"

I have noticed lately since I have moved to a new place where I am meeting new people, that basically the first thing people ask you when you meet is: "what do you do?" This isn't a question I am unfamiliar with; it's a common question everywhere when you meet someone new, but it has started to frustrate me that I don't have an answer.

I like Boston, and I love that Logan is going to a school he loves and is learning things that will benefit him. It's fun meeting new people and hearing them take an interest in what he is doing, but I have noticed that now I dread the moment they wrap it up with him to turn and ask me, "and what do you do?" 

It seems a simple enough question. Yet...even when I am working somewhere it always seems so unfulfilling to answer that question with my job. I keep thinking that that is the problem- I need a job I will enjoy, and something I will feel content answering that question with, but what? I feel like somewhere along the line I forgot to get a dream. I forgot to find something I really wanted to be and do, and now I seem to find myself at a loss. 

I watched this video this morning, and I was inspired by the message to do what makes you happy. I feel like the words in this video are taken from thoughts in my head and entries in journals I have written. That is what I want. I want to live my life doing something I love to do.
now the question again turns into... what?
