Proactive Decision Making
So this job was a terrible idea...so I quit. I mean, it wasn't even a job, it was a volunteer position. But then they CALLED MY PARENTS because apparently they couldn't take my word for it! (My parent's do not know I really quit and I don't plan on telling them; they just think there was some miscommunication...because that's what I told them.) Now I'm wondering, at some point in my life, will anyone ever consider me an adult and stop running to my parents when I try and do something on my own?
I mean, if I was in my teens or maybe even early 20's, I could understand why they did that. But I'm 26 now, and most scientists will agree that my brain was fully developed by age 25. So I'm a big girl. I make my own decisions. I know I'm adorable, and look super young and naive, but I could practically be a grandma. And I really, really, don't want my parent's knowing every move I make. Mostly because they also still act like I'm 15 and will yell at me and lecture me for hours if they don't approve of my decisions.
I know I've been making a lot of stupid decisions as of late, but I'm fully aware they're stupid because that's how adult I am. If I were several years younger, I may not realize how stupid my decisions were until someone told me. But I've had a voice in my head that tells me when and how stupid I'm being for years now, and it sounds exactly like my parents. Some people may say I should get that checked out, but it's hardly ever a qualified doctor, so I don't listen to them. However, I do listen to the voice in my head, weigh the consequences, and then ignore it. I was very good at ignoring what my parents said, and now I'm good at ignoring what I know my parents would say. It's called growing up y'all.
So I'm going to be filling out paperwork for proof of my resignation tomorrow, and then I'll be job hunting like crazy for the next few weeks, because I have no plans of moving back home. Anyways, I probably would have been let go somewhere down the line because I don't think I was cut out for the job. See, I was being proactive.
