Hiya pals,

Sorry it's been a while. My life has been tumultuous these past couple months to say the least. I've been staying all over- with friends, relatives... basically anyone who would offer me a couch. It's been an emotional roller coaster for me, and one that I hope will end soon. I have had five interviews since I lost my job, and have come up empty handed. I am now currently looking in several cities across the South East instead of limiting myself to just Atlanta.

I think the biggest problem is that I don't really know what I want to do with my life. I think it's just because I have been in school for over 20 years and now that I'm out, I realize it's pretty much all I've ever known. It''s the only thing that has ever made me feel complete, the only thing I've really ever been good at, and now that I've gotten my degree, I don't know what's next. I know that I have aspirations of higher education. I want to go to law school, preferably a dual program so that I can get a Masters as well, but I already have acquired a lot of school debt, and am scared about the future. I don't know if I want to be an indentured servant to the U.S. government for the rest of my life. Not to mention taking the LSATS and the GRE costs hundreds of dollars and everyday life has just been such a struggle. So that leaves me with... what should I do in the mean time?

I don't want to go back to work in restaurants and bars anymore. It was helpful while I was working my way through school, but after eight-years of it, I'm sick of barely making ends meet and always being exhausted. So what does that leave? I know I don't want an administrative job where I perform minuscule mundane tasks all day. I know I don't want to do anything in retail or sales. I just don't know, and life doesn't exactly stop so I can figure it out. My debt is growing, and the more I sit at idle, the more...

I know I don't want an administrative job where I perform minuscule mundane tasks all day. I know I don't want to do anything in retail or sales. I just don't know, and life doesn't exactly stop so I can figure it out. My debt is growing, and the more I sit at idle, the more worthless I feel as a person. You can't drink stagnant water, and I've got to start moving. I'm thinking of maybe a move to Nashville or Miami. I have family in both places, and it might do me well to have a fresh start somewhere...I don't know. I think I am having a quarter life crisis. Yes, I said it. Quarter life. It's a real thing. Oh and Blink 182 had it right, no one really does like you when you're twenty-three.

Alright, I've written too much already for my friends who don't feel like reading all that
The TLDR version is:
1) I'm still alive.
PROOF:


2) My location changes daily, but I'm usually anywhere between Atlanta, GA & Tallahassee, FL with friends or relatives (currently the latter).
3) I don't know what I'm doing with my life or where I'll be going next.
4) I am open to suggestions, ideas, comments, or whatever.

Anyway, I miss you all. I hope you're all well. I am rarely on the computer so I probably won't get back to you in a timely manner if you write me on here, but my phone never leaves my side, so please feel free to contact me on KIK if you have it. My s/n is haxhaxhaley Take care of yourselves. I hope next time I blog it will be better news.

All my love,
H.
