Shows Potential

I don’t think working for a living is my thing. Just about every job I’ve ever had, is the worst job I’ve ever had. (Until now, I finally have a job I actually like.)
There is nothing more sobering than waking up on a Sunday filled with dread cause you know the only thing standing between you and work is one precious fleeting day. I’ve quit entire careers because of one day I just couldn’t stomach going in.
Which may lead you to believe I’m an unmotivated employee. But you’d be wrong, I’m an exceptionally hard worker. And I’m jolly as f*ck.
My problem is, I’ve had a few really shitty jobs. That and the fact that I hate confrontation.
I have an adorable habit of letting all those small disgruntled moments chip away at me until they eventually start adding up, building into something I no longer have control of. Then finally one day, seemingly out of nowhere, I turn a corner.
What changed? Everything and nothing. I don’t know why, but for some reason that’s it.
I think to myself, ‘No, no. This isn’t right. I shouldn’t be here.’ Then I quietly back up and get the f*ck out of there.
FREEDOM!!!!!!
great pictures, love them !:)

Wow I thought I was the only one that felt like this. I feel so refreshed that you do too. I used to have a great fear of confrontation but I could no longer take feeling shitty about myself because I was afraid of being judged. Sometimes you have to say what you need to say whether it’s wrong, right, rude or too honest. At the end of the day your peace of mind is the most important thing, so share the pieces of your mind when you need to. Obviously there needs to be a balance , you can’t vent too much. You don’t want a smack in the face. Anyways life is too short. I love your blog. It makes me feel good :). Also I can definitely relate to bad career choices. 2013 is about positive changes as hard as they will be but we owe it to ourselves. You’re a good writer and you have a great eye I’m sure you’ll be amazing at whatever you decide to do; to be honest you already are xx
I want to hug you, you are so sweet! You totally made my day, thanks for the pep talk :) xo
:)) you’re welcome xx
I hated working for a long time too, I just want to enjoy life! But glad you finally have a good job. Love the pics! so fun.
Wow.. finally, someone who feel exactly the way I feel!!! And written so beautifuly. I have had ever job under the sun and hated almost all of them. I just had being tied down and just want to run and swim and do what I want. I plan on a road trip later this summer just to do just that. But man.. so glad I found your blog :)
You took the words out of my mouth – ingenious.
I can totally relate. I love your pictures though!
