Thank you for the words you gave. In the midst of trying to find the balance of living who I am want to be, who I am and what the world envisions me to be I had to make hard choices. I chose to be the person who I wanted to be but it seems it was in direct conflict with what the world wants me to be. Fighting for freedom and rights in a corporate world just is not so.
Many times I have been told to not bite the hand that feeds you. To not rock the boat and just sit there and smile as they steer towards the waterfalls.
It is not my place to do what is right but only do what they want.
I was talking to my sisters today who kept on insisting that there was nothing wrong with me. That I should not second guess myself all because of a bad boss. That it is not the end of the world for me.
I'm just not sure how to go on with my life.
Hey Mave, couldn't help but respond here. I'd love to see you reach a point where you don't care what your sisters think and do what's right for you. Change jobs, career paths, anything ... just follow your own heart. I quit teaching after 20 plus years to buy a burger restaurant; most thought I was nuts, but I said too f'n bad ... just don't care what you think, and I followed my dream of owning a restaurant. And I loved it! There was a time in my life where I would have done what everyone else thought I should, and swallowing my own wants, like a bitter pill. I've lost friends and family members over the years because I decided to do what was right for me. In the end, I realized that "those" people were not worth hanging on to.
You were born to be you, and you owe it to the world to show that person; let your light shine buddy!! You deserve to be happy, and to love yourself. xx
