Coco stares at me, while I in place, stare back at the monitor…contemplating on what I’ve done with my life…questioning myself…what have I done with my life. Most people I encounter believe in the philosophy-“Everything happens for a reason.” Yet, I think life is what you want it to be we make that path.
It’s really up to one self to opt for what one’s little heart desires…and like most middle class adults we struggle to make ends meet working two jobs at a minimum wage while simultaneously trying to get an education for a better career. It’s frightening because right out of high school, we are expected to know what we want to do with our life and stick through it. Yet, that makes it impossible for someone to do follow their passion.
In my case I’ve worked in retail, I’ve been a real estate agent, a receptionist and now a teller…yet I don’t feel fulfilled. That that isn’t all the potential I have. Yet we aren’t given the opportunity to pick around because the money isn’t dispensable. I have peers, and co-workers that are doing things just because it’s a better paid job, or simply because it’s the quickest thing to get over with. It shouldn’t even be about that! It should be about what brings a smirk to our face and brightens our eyes.
I know I’m coming off a bit cliché but I’ll end up working who knows where and doing who knows what. For sure I will go through many careers until I find the one, gladly I won’t go through it alone, and Coco will follow me along the way…as long as I have the catnip.
