Today, January 28th, 2008 is my half birthday, I'm 24 and one-half years old today. I've always seen 25 as my age to really have my shit together, well not necessarily all together, 30's the age for that. But I definitely wanted to be steadily moving in the right direction, knowing exactly what it is I wanna do with my life and making the provisions for it. With the milestone coming in less than six months today is most certainly a day of reflection.
All in all I'm happy. I'm blogging, I'm writing my book, I'm writing for a magazine, I have a decent, but still temporary-ish job. Yes, even though I've been at my current job almost two years now I still call it temporary. It's my job (really their job actually), it pays my bills, but it's not my passion and as good as it can be at times I'm not gonna grow old being a hotel concierge. This I declare unto you today is my last job. Whatever I do after this whether it be in the next six minutes, six days, six hours, or six months, or whenever I will be doing for myself and not to punch anybody's clock. Eff outta here...
From the time I was 16 and I basically got kicked out of my first high school due to apathy my life has been all over the place. Hating school, knowing I was gay and not knowing how to deal with it, self confidence issues, trying to be an adult, trying not to be a scandalous whore, working terrible jobs, getting my own apartment, boyfriends, boyfriends, boyfriends, it's all been crazy. Last year though everything's been calming down and coming together and finally my passion, writing, has come forth. What the hell took ya so long, bitch?
I feel good and I'm as excited as a kid at Christmastime to see what the next six months are gonna bring. Thank you Jesus for this, yet another six months of life.
