break

alright, i was talking on the phone to moony last night and i told her about how stresed i was and how i felt as if i was writing now because people wanted me to and they asked me to.
i used to, and still do, hate people who write because it's convient and it makes them happy and blah blah blah. writing should be something you are forced to do. writing should be something you can't function without.
i do believe i have a quote to help my case! "You wrote down that you were a writer by profession. It sounded to me like the loveliest euphemism I had ever heard. When was writing ever your profession? It's never been anything but your religion. Never." Seymour Glass to Buddy Glass - J.D. Salinger.
i just hate sell-outs, and yes, i know i am also one of the biggest hypocrites in the world, so shut up and don't remind me.
so, she said i needed a break. i should stop breaking my back looking for quotes and let them come to me and start to enjoy my life again. she told me to take a break from writing and to only write when i really feel the creative juices flowing.
so, i posted up a letter to my fans on my most popular site, the one i would be missed on. i hope no one is mad and yeah...

i'm just so worn down. i want to be happy and i refuse to settle.
we also talked about life and the future last night while we were on the phone. [we were on the phone for a few hours]
i told her that i wouldn't settle for that 9 to 5 job just to get the taxes paid or to keep a roof over my head. if making my dreams reality means sleeping on a bench or crashing at friends houses or living with fifteen roommates, i'll do it.
i hate it when people feel they're stuck. "Oh i didn't go to college so I'm stuck at McDonald's" or something. that makes me really mad.
you are NEVER stuck anywhere. You can work your arse off for a year, then leave and go see the world. get a job in greece when you get there.
hell, someone's always hiring.

so, yay ranting?

:D

future, kirsten, settle, break, writing, life, moony
