so if you haven't heard by now, i have made a decently big life change and have moved back home to virginia. i've been here for only a week but things are getting too comfortable and i'm quickly growing tired of the repetitive nature of doing jack shit

homie,

[ctrlaltdiscreet]

i feel you. this shit is hard. and more often than not i find myself more hopeless than happy. regardless, that's no reason to just throw your hands up and say "well shit."

last i heard, you had shit going for you, working in a field you wanted to be in and even doing things for oral b, that's ill man.

truth is though, shit was never easy in the first place. that's primarily the reason i got out of the suburbs.

it's easy to find complacency in the familiar, settle down for a semblance of happiness that everyone approves of, but that isn't what makes us grow up. that's just falling blissfully back into ignorance.

right now, in our age group, we're inevitably hurtling towards a quarter-life crisis, and often that makes us nihilistic and bitter that things haven't turned out how we wanted them to. and i'm not trying to tell you to go back and chase your dream, because often (as i found out) it's not all it's cracked up to be.

still, that's no reason to just brush everything else off and hate life.

the world is already full of assholes ben.

please don't become one of them.

everything was perfect. just the hours were rough and of course the pay was nothing to be happy about. I would be rich though if they had overtime. Advertising is really fun, it's probably the best job out there if you didn't care about money.

and dude nyc made me into an asshole. now that i'm in nova, i'll turn into a hillbilly.

Re: homie,

i've been at work all day :( time to leave!

and how about you go out to CA and find a job. Whenever I have the guts to quit my job (most likely when the economy picks up again)...I'm moving to Cali for surreeee.

do it! i'll meet you out there and we can both live in the same city for a year and never hang out.
