I may have gone to school with you, grew up with you, worked with you, met you through a friend, met you at a party or accepted you onto my very popular/overpopulated facebook page that served me with my 15 minutes of fame...that lasted 4 years providing me with approx 20 000+ friends on and off.
Or if this is your first time hearing about me- Hey !
Either way I see myself as being nobody special. I'm just here. I went through the motions and finished school with great marks and did everything I was told. Was I happy? No. I forced myself to apply for commerce and marketing with fear that I'd end up a loser if I didn't-thats high school brainwashing for you. I got accepted early with scholarships to all and to this day the universities still harass me to go to theirs.
Why didn't I go?
Well this may sound stupid...but I just didn't want to go.
I will someday - but only when I feel that it's right and not forced upon me like the biggest scam/rip off/debt going.
Not to say all of my friends made the wrong choice... I just almost did.
So now I'm here.
Friends with potential nurses, engineers, surgeons, brewmasters, teachers, lawyers, journalists, politicians and businessmen/woman.
Relatives asking me "What are you going to do with the rest of your life?"
It's hard for me to explain that I don't want to be like them. Or at least like many of the people I've met.
I already work a 9-5 full time government job that I hate. I don't want to live my life for the money, doing something that I hate, something I will never get any recognition for.
I want to find my happiness in something that I can be proud of.
So whats next?
