Hello independence. My name is Stephen. Nice to meet you.
My birthday is in one hour. I haven't comtemplated my life until now. I have just been living. But I haven't really lived. I haven't taken any risks. I haven't done anything that would make me say wow. I've taken trips to Chicago and Montreal, but that's pretty old news. I need a big change. I need to move.
I don't know why I haven't done this before. I always came up with an excuse. None of which are truly legitimate any longer.
"What about your health insurance? You need your seizure medication."
Well, I haven't had a seizure in about 2 years now..so that's out.
"What about your sister? She needs you to look after her."
She's in Texas, so there's nothing I can really do here for her now.
"But you have a great job."
True, but that experience is transferrable. And people are always looking for accountants.
"And your family? What about them?"
What about them? They're here when I want to see them.
"Don't you have debt?"
I did when I came back here. But not enough to make me stay here anymore.
So, as a result, I've been actively looking for a job...more so then I ever have. I even told my boss that I was actively looking for a job. I don't know if that was a good idea, but it puts pressure on me to look harder if they put a job posting up. I told them I wasn't going anywhere anytime soon, and I'll stay as long until I have a job for sure elsewhere.
So yeah. I need to grow up and stop living at home.
