I haven't had much time to blog because I started a brand new job and my poor poor husband has been working insane hours (4:30pm-4:30 am). The adjustment has definitely been hard, I'm pretty certain I've never been so tired and so happy at the same time.
After finally coming to the realization that, "life just isn't fair," I've had so much more peace in my life. My parents were the kind of people who answered their kids when they asked why. This seemed like a good idea at the time, but come to find out most people are told from a very young age that life isn't fair. Although psychologically you would think that proper explanation of events or consequences would lead to a more well adjusted human being, well that's just plain wrong. I applaud the parents out there who every once in a while couldn't bear to explain every little detail to a screaming child and just answered with a strong, "life isn't fair, get over it." Finding this fact out at the age of 22 has been hard. Because most of my life has been working towards a very specific goal, I guess I never really stopped to think what happens after I reach it? I just assumed that with a degree I can step right out of the class room and into a meaningful career. But that is not how things work at all. This has been a really trying time for me, but I feel like I've grown and learned so much in the past few months that maybe all this pain and suffering will lead to something better, eventually....
So I started what most would consider a "mediocre" job. I am a sales associate at Family Video. Turns out I love being a sales associate at Family Video and I'm actually really freaking good at it! I get to wear cute clothes to work! And talk about one of my favorite things all day! And I earn commission when I do a good job! And my co-workers are actually nice! And so are my managers!! At first I felt kind of crappy about myself for getting a degree to work at family video. But I shouldn't be! I'm young, I'm making money and I'm having a blast at work. Honestly what more could I ask for? I feel good about this situation and I'm happy.
