i wanna be domesticated

school has defined a major part of me for my entire life. i have been a student for the past 20 or so years and now that i'll be graduating for, what will probably be the last time, i am starting to think about what i want my life to look like. and lately i've really been dabbling in the domestic arts, if you will. i started crocheting more and have even taken on more difficult projects than potholders. i've started on a hat....uh, still working on understanding the directions. but, i will get it! i've also been so into cooking the last little while. i successfully made my first batch of knephla soup (shoutout to all my Germans out there-holla!) and other recipes handed down from generation to generation. there is a whole legacy thing i'm beginning to feel as i start venturing out into different domestic activities. it's like all the women before me have done these things and taught their daughters to do the same. i'm finally getting it. it's so wonderful to share your handicrafts or homemade goodies with loved ones. when i was younger i was all about being a business women not a homemaker, turns out i'm more traditional than i thought. while i don't think i could make it my full-time work, i do enjoy these things on a part-time level. the only problem is i'm worried about this making me an old lady.....
