I still get very much caught up in what I'm suppose to be doing with my life and what I'm suppose to have already accomplished. I made a choice a while ago to do what I needed to do in order to be happy, to live and have a good time instead of being depressed with money. I'm not a corporate girl. I've done it, over and over and I always hate it but that's suppose to be what you want, the big position with the big salary, the benefits, the investment plans etc. It's just not a good environment for me I guess.

And since I made this decision it's been a big of a roller coaster, I wan an artist for a year, an art gallery assistant, I worked at a sex shop, tried to go corporate again (it lasted a month), worked for a small business and now I'm where I am currently.

The whole point of this really is that one of my room mates works at Lenovo, which is an old part of IBM. They are hiring inside sales people. When I first came to Toronto I wanted that job, I would ask him over and over if they were hiring I think they have three of my resumes. I wanted to work there because of the big salary and because I would be with him. He sent me an email all excited about them finally hiring and I was like, ok, I'll apply and then talk to the boss I have now to see how he thinks I'm doing if he sees a future there for me and whatnot and then do the interview, make the decision when I need to.

But yesterday it just hit me like WTF are you even doing?! I have the PERFECT job right now. I don't make a ton but I pay my rent (and not my bills HAHAHA), I have a little left over, I'm NEVER stressed, I work from home every single day. Literally I wake up at 8:45 to start work at 9am. I work in my pjs until my lunch break when I shower and actually get dressed. I'm able to take off whenever I want almost and go to Detroit to see my boy because I can work from his house. And it allows me to do photography on the side, weather I need to leave early or start late. My boss is one of my best friends and we work well together. We fool around all day but still get a ton of stuff done. We have rockband breaks and go for walks in the day and joke about how we want to buy a patio set and a ton of really long cables so we can work outside all summer long.

And I was going to give all that up for some money....I'm a fucking idiot.

I guess there will always be a part of me that feels like a failure because I took a different path and didn't become a doctor, laywer etc - but there is always time for that later when I'm done being an artist, wanna photographer and happy little gypsy girl.

Maybe you'll never be done being an artist, wannabe photographer, and happy little gypsy girl. And you know what? That's fucking cool.

I love you too.
The corporate world is just not a place for people with hearts. Seriously dude, you have a big ole heart, stay away from the darkside. Money is only as good as what you buy with it and if you have the things you need, then fuck itwink Stay happy...smile
