The New Tree and Big Changes Ahead
This weekend, me and my parents went to a nursery and bought a bunch of new plants. Mostly for cosmetic reasons, sure, but we also bought a tree. And, while I've never been one to read into things much, I must admit that planting the new tree ties in pretty well to all the changes going on in my life right now.
For those of you that don't know, and I'm sure that number is quickly dwindling down as of this writing, I've decided to leave my position as Assistant Manager at Hot Topic. It's been a long, interesting, educational ride, but it's time to move on. There are a lot of reasons for my decision, but I think it's the right one. As for what's next? Honestly, I don't know. But whatever I choose to do, I can't wait to get started.
I am also going to use this as an opportunity to not only buckle down in terms of school, but also in the area of portfolio development. I know that I have talent, and I know that, deep down, I have the desire and creativity to go far... I just have to find the motivation now.
I've realized that time passes by so much faster the older that you get. If you don't act fast to achieve your goals, your whole live will pass you by. And I don't want that. I remember a quote from a movie called "A Bronx Tale" that goes, "The saddest thing in life is wasted talent."
I don't want to end up like that.
I don't want to be 30, 40, 50, and NOT doing what I want to do in life. So now's the time. Now's the time to make a move. Now's the time to take the risks I need to take in order to not only grow as a person, but to progress in life. Every second of every minute of every hour of every day is a chance to change. So I choose now.
And I don't say this just for my own sake; I know that there are MANY people out there in the same boat. How do I know? Because they've told me. They're all smart, hard-working individuals who've fallen into ruts or unexpected pitstops in life. I know it's not easy, and I know it won't be easy. That's okay, because I know my family and friends will be there for me. And if you're in the same situation? We'll be there for you, too.
Well, enough about that. I think it came out MUCH better than I expected when I started this writing! One last thing before I go...
My dog and cat get along. Sometimes.
