summer

i have struggled epicly this summer. it was my first summer with a full time job. you might think thats lame and say, “well, get over it…. and welcome to the real world” but wow. it was very, very difficult for me. and i tried so hard to tell myself that teaching wouldnt be so bad if i would just give it a shot. but im not a teacher, and i just cant sell out like that.  i know i would hate it. it felt like everyone else was out having fun while i was stuck indoors, in my office.  and it was painful. and i was jealous of every teacher or student who ever lived. 

im a little better now. partly because i can see everyone gearing up for the working season, partly because its nearly football season, and partly because i have a killer line-up of awesome fall activities ahead of me.  i have one word of advice for anyone who reads this: work should never be a four letter word. we were born with passions- pursue them. dont go through live trying to skate around death safely. skid right on in there crashing the trash cans at the bottom of the hill and scream “what a hell of a ride!!” as you skid in.
