to strike a blow against the tyranny of reasonable ideas
i am not applying for a job at starbucks.
i am not.
is this most recent job-freakout of mine unreasonable?
am i just feeling insecure-slash-slightly-jealous after checking up on people i know, people who started out in the same place i did, who seem to be doing without fail more impressive things? people with major professional successes, prestige in their fields, or at least 401(k)s and health insurance?
is it the about-to-graduate-from-college boyfriend who still has every door open to him? or the fast-approaching birthday which will mean that i'm solidly in my mid-twenties?
does this happen periodically right-on-schedule-with-the-alumni-newsletter to anybody else? the doubting your life's choices, the insecurity about your future?
(especially anyone out there who's chosen a less-than-orthodox career path.)
the thing is, i absolutely know i wouldn't be happier in an office somewhere
anything i can think of that i could be doing right now that would make me alot of money would also make me not want to get up in the morning.
i know the people with what i'm defining as success would probably envy my kind of freedom
i just wish i had a disposable income.
i am not.
