Today's Special: Fired (Fried) Oysters in Fondue and ARTtichokes
First, I don't have an major bills (you know the ones that will have you homeless or without a vehicle). So if you have lost your job and living at home with your parents say what I said 'I'M FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!'
I never realized that my life was beginning to be centered around my job until Friday morning when I woke up feeling sad damn near depressed. Then I pumped the breaks! 'Lauren 'Wilder' Wilder why are you stressed out?' Sure, I'm entitled to the initial shock and sadness of not having anything to fill those 8 hours of the day. But that's where everything stopped. And now I have a question to ask you, if you didn't have your job what would you be doing?
What was looming over my head at work were all the things I wanted to do but couldn't do. I can't skip town because I had to be at work 7:30 in the morning. I can come and go as I please as long as my funds will allow it.
I'm not going to get into the things that I have in the works. However, I will say I'm touching up my art roots so that I don't go to waste.
I'm not 100% optimisstic, more like 80%. Life is much easier if you have something to look forward to. Also keep in mind that life doesn't come to a halt with a relationship, marriage, and even kids. And for goodness sake do not wallow, you look crazy and no one will want to be around you.
Now if you're thinking well I have a second job, I sleep in my free time, I have a boyfriend/girlfriend, or even I have kids. No excuses people to neglect the things you like to do. If you only have 15 minutes to dedicate to it then do it. Don't end up jobless and reevaluating your life. Your job isn't your life! What do you retired people do? Vacation, hobbies, visit friends, and you young person are not an exception.
Are you worried about no one being around for the fun? Hold on just a sec.
Server: I'll get your dessert.
Since I said that work shouldn't define your life, your friends shouldn't either. They're fabulous and you are suppose to share your activites and common interests. If you are depending on them to make your life interesting then shame on you. In some cases friends may be all you have and that's fine but you come into this world alone and you die alone. No, that's not sound sour, but it's the reality of it.
