Now that you've grown up....

Going off of a previous entry of talking about what I want to be "when I grow up". Do YOU like what you do? Many of us have jobs that we go to everyday, but are miserable. Personally, I sit in an office, and I process financial aid. Tons of paperwork, no human interaction, and numbers.... all day.

Some of you may go to a dealership and work on cars. Some of you may serve drinks or food. Some may go to the mall and work in retail. Is this what you imagined your life would be like? Is this where you wanted to be? Do you actually like what you do?

I personally.... do not. I am in school currently, and its been a long drawn out road but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am hoping that my career path opens up doors to something I would really like to do. What I do now isn't "rewarding". It isn't something that I wake up thinking "I'm going to make a difference today". What I'm going to school for will give me that feeling, I believe. (At least I hope so, my student loans are going to be ridiculous when I graduate), so I hope it's worth it.

What do you WANT to do with your life? Are you doing it? If you could do something you love and get paid for it, what would it be? Would you change that aspect of your life?


Today's Awesome: After the last few books I've read, I'm grateful that although we aren't rich by any means.... we have a roof over our heads. We have never had to go without a meal for days at a time. We can always put on clean, dry clothes and seek medical care if we need it. That, my friends, is awesome.

So I read... a lot. Whether with a physical book where I have to dog ear the pages to save my place, my Kindle Fire, or through Audible, I'm always either reading or listening to a book. No offense to you out there who are fans, but Twilight and Hunger Games aren't really my cup of tea. I won't waste my time with 50 shades of porn. I like my emotions to be challenged. I like to think. I like to read books that are so descriptive that I feel like I'm there. I need new things to read, and hopefully someone will be able to give me some suggestions! My all time favorite author, is Charles Bukowski. He has written some amazing stuff, seriously. Women was my favorite, followed by Ham on Rye, followed by many of his poetry books. Next up, Frank McCourt.... He wrote an autobiography called "Angela's Ashes". It was a story about him and his family growing up during the famine in Ireland. His subsequent stories were about him coming to America and struggling to

Shame

I’m sure many of you have seen this image online. Whether it be Pinterest, Facebook, or various other social media sites. What kind of feelings do you have when you look at this? My first reaction was….Yay curves! I’m a bigger girl, so everyone should accept me and find me attractive for who I am. I should be considered normal and that’s what every man should be attracted to. I’m not a small by any means, nor have I ever been. I have had my moments where I got down to an acceptable weight and my BMI was within “normal” range. Although, thin and Ellie have never been mentioned in the same sentence. I looked at the pic again and let the words sink in. “Real men”….. what is a REAL man? I thought all men were real. I didn’t realize that those who dated thin girls were androids or creepy Martians from outer space who tried so hard to blend in as humans while walking around Earth. Then I thought… this picture is trying to say that thin people are unattractive and can’t possible by w

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I'm sure that when I was young, I wanted to be a doctor, a lawyer, or something equally as glamorous. I never thought that well into my 30's, I would still be struggling with the decision of what career path I wanted to follow. While I am about 9 months away from my degree, I still have no idea what I want to do with it. I am close to earning my second psychology degree. With this, I have many doors that open for me and many opportunities to use it. Up until late last year, I was pretty clear cut on what I wanted to do with it. I wanted to do addiction counseling and help addicts overcome a terrible disease. However.... I believe it is when I became pregnant and my hormones had me crying over dropping a piece of paper and then in a complete rage because I couldn't get a lid off of a jar, that I had an epiphany. I actually had to take the news apps off of my phone. I steered clear of news telecasts and skimmed over postings people made on social media sites. Why was I so
