now that i have been working ful time for the past few weeks i understand more completly how i want to live my life. the key isnt being what you do for a living (ex. my job is cook pancakes therefore i am a cook) the key is to simply do something and be what you want (ie i cook pancakes for a living but i am tod, an individual) people think getting the perfect job is so important when, in fact, it shouldnt mean a thing to you. with all the effort you put into finding the perfect job your life is lost somewhere in between. you can say im going to work hard until i can be a lawyer, but in the end you will have spent so many years of your life climbing the ladder that you actually left yourself at the bottom. your true self at least, youll fall into the pattern of going to work and coming home to watch primetime television...mediocrity... when the relazation that you will be doing the same thing day in and day out for the rest of your life hits you it is tough. it makes life seem worthless. at the same time it made me notice the good times more than i did in the past. it also helps me appreciate them more. in conclusion do what you will, but dont lose yourself somewhere out there.
