Life of Chung |
Life is good! |
and the danger of an adventure is worth a thousand days of ease and comfort.
A simple little song by John Mayer about the single life. "Nothing to do / Nowhere to be / A simple little kind of free." I love that sentiment: a simple little kind of free. It's a little sad to fall out of love, but there's something nice about it, too, you know? Mostly involving blogging at odd hours and doing everything I've wanted to do without fear of negatively impacting someone else because their life is so intrinsically intertwined with mine. In due time, I hope to break out of this funk. But it can only happen with time.And I can wait.
Ridiculously vulnerable, yes, but in a way, also more at ease.
Stop thinking all the time that you're in the way, that you're bothering the person next to you. If people don't like it, they can complain. And if they don't have the courage to complain, that's their problem.
A role that I'm still trying to step into gracefully is the one at the helm. It's at once very exhilarating and scary-as-fuck to be in charge of EVERYTHING involved in this little business of mine.
I love it. It scares me to bits. But I think I'm a confident woman who's able to make tough calls and build a successful little empire. Over time. One baby step at a time.Let's be honest for a moment: I hated my corporate job. BUT, I loved the people that I worked with. They made coming into the 8-to-5 time-warp worthwhile because we got to hang out, and, most importantly, I got to play pranks and chit-chat with a number of different people.
I guess I'm not as big as a loner as I purport to be.It's weird working alone at home nowadays. I've got roommates and friends nearby, but it's like going from having 20 roommates to just 2. Now that I'm more aware of what's going on (i.e. I miss my ex-coworkers), I'm making a more concerted effort just to extend my circle of friends and acquaintances. But, OMG, I NEED PEOPLE TO PLAY PRANKS ON - STAT!!!I get a huge high from seeing my images in print form. Don't even get me started with framed and matted - that kind of high gets me through an entire week of drudgery!
