Whats really hood
Man, it has been f'n 9 months and might i say it has been some of the time best spent in my life. It happened about this time last year that i contemplated leaving NY for all that it was worth to me. I somehow drew a conclusion that this opportunity that i dug so hard for was worth the sacrifice of all i had loved about my life post college. Family, Friends, loved ones were not able to convince me to dig myself into debt to stay on long island just so I can still be in the image. Frankly it was impossible to live comfortably on the island in the career i have chosen. I am not upset or disappointed that i could not stay but I had hope that this would be better for me. So in one fleeting motion i looked back to wish everyone i had encountered in the prior year the best, i feel i kinda just fit in since i was one of the first to finish school and was partying with some of the best friends i have ever had. I realized that if i had stayed i would have been alright but i looked at the money i dropped on college and said if for one moment in my life i would do something responsible i chose to atleast make an effort to make the best of my degree. It is wretching being days away from what i call home, hearing of my dad fighting for his pride and my uncles going down a road that i only have seen the worst take. I feel protected here but at the same i cannot ignore the truth around me. In nine months i have transformed from one of the best corporate cooks to a mediocre cook for a well known resort. It has been a grueling process that few could only imagine the struggle it took for me to get where it has taken me. All the yelling, making fun of, talking down to etc. I have learned the ropes of a real restaurant, a real job, and a real chance to make a difference in my life. I will never fit in with the rich folk but i have learnt enough about them by living with a few that i cannot fit in. Rich folk have no friends because they think money can by everything they need and social interaction means nothing to people who live that life. When i was told that if you have no money you are nothing in the real world it was left with a silent car ride on the whole ride home. Here is this person living off mom and dads money telling me the facts of life. I have struggled alot in life and to begin a journey you always need to start from the bottom up, put it this way i got curiosity out of the way so i feel that nothing will be missed. During this time i have met countless of people in the same situation as me and none of them had a pot to piss in money wise but we valued our friendships to a higher degree then money. When someone who thinks he has it all because of money falls down drunk there will not be 12 people carrying him up stairs saying it was a great night. You need money but when you live by it you are guaranteed a different rode in life and as much as it seems true, trust me it is the farthest from it. As far as i hear people my age getting married i say congrats, but why so young? Has the element of change no appeal to you? Just something I will always keep in the back of my head. I had a chance to be your boat and my career path took me alot more places then where i saw going with her. I was young and couldn't even support myself and we had this so called love. I just don't see the point of settling down and saying the fun is over. Why?? If we choose that path where is the aspiration to live. If everything is the same everyday what makes you want to continue ? It sure is not the family pack at taco bell. Even that symbolizes the truth of marriage the family pack will always consist of the same ammount of tacos and burritos and with the way inflation goes that number of tacos and burritos might cut in number one day just as a married persons freedom. Especially at this age!! Just live life because if you want it to, it can take you countless places. Call me arrogant or whatnot these are only my feelings and i look forward to sharp criticism.
Someone once told me to live life to the fullest but make sure to live it day by day, but at the same time i was also told that if you find a job that you would work for free make a career out of it and get paid doing it. Thanks blink to the later of the 2 comments but both i have used fullfill my dream. With an open mind anything is possible
