Having One Of Those Days...
Hi everyone. Just need a quick venting session. Have you ever felt like all your talent is seeping from your body as you sit in a meaningless job that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with your dreams? Or even what you dedicated years in college for? Well folks that's how I'm feeling right now and I'm starting to get frustrated. I hate my job, hate the company, hate Chicago nightlife and need some changes quick.
Some days are better than others, but this is a BAD one. Where the hell is Calgon when you need it? I work 10 hours and my travel is 2 hours. That's 12 hours of my day gone from jump, then I come home to finally do what I love; write! I write for the blog, then the magazine, and when I look up it's time for me to go to sleep (late of course) and start the next day. This is not how I envisioned my life at 27-years-old. They don't teach this ish in college...sent offs!
Does anyone ever feel like this? Jesus be a lottery or a writing gig to ease a sistas mind!
Thanks for listening to my gripe session. :-)

Girl...yes! I feels your pain! Slavin away for da man when you ain't even go to school for that nonsense! If there was no such thing as bills, I would be out! lol Don't stress, you gotta suck it up and pay your dues...it'll all work out in the end (at least that what my boyfriend tells me). I don't know how religious you are but you could say a prayer to make it through...that usually helps me :D
Hey girl!!! I totally fell u. I'm 22 and I need to travel more. I was born and raised in NY. The only state i've travled to thus far is NJ. That's because I have fam out there, but NJ and NY are neighboring states so that does'nt even count. It's funny cause when your a kid u have big dreams. "I want to be a Doctor,and so on.... but you encounter obstacles that make you do a complete 360. What really bothers me is all these celebs complaining about hard life is the spotlight while some of us live check to check and can bearly feed ourselves. I just thank GOD that I'm healthy and he gives me the strength to fight another day...

Thanks girl for the advice! Sometimes I just feel so overwhelmed and frustrated. And, like Tiny said, watching people who should be happy complaining like bitches when they're leave their dreams. If I find a way to chase my dreams AND pay my bills it's been one!
I definitely feel you on this one...it's very hard becoming complacent with something you're not truly passionate about. But take one day at a time & everything will fall into place...put it in God's hands...My father always taught me that just because things don't happen when & how I want them, it may be a blessing in disguise it's all in perfect timing...you're not alone we all feel that way @ some point in time.
:-( I cant say I have experienced this but times would make me resent Ashitty untalented ass getting checks from making crap. Tear.
If the present is the bridge from my past to my future, then regardless of the condition of the bridge, I'm crossing it. My goal is to fall alseep to my reality and wake up to dreams. Yeah, I got a degree, and yeah I'm working a 9-5 that I hate, but I know I have a greater purpose and eventho I may be taking baby steps to fulfilling it, as long as I'm moving forward, I'm good. So A.Red, keep your head up. You're still on the highway of life. You're just switching a spare. And it may look like people are passing you by and fulfilling their dreams, but don't trip. Alot of people are riding on flats, trying to impress the next man.
Pray.. take action and then pray again! Without trials and tribulations you would never know how to appreciate the good things in life.
THANK EVERYONE. I need this words more than y'all know. :-) One day I'll look back and laugh at this. *crosses fingers,eyes,toes, and legs)
