Today sitting at work I found myself breezing through some of my new fav’s…bloggers, and I realized somethings about myself. I spend about 90% of my day in front of a computer mostly surfing the internet, specifically reading blogs about this and that. In the middle of all my readings I came back to a statement I made to a friend a few days ago and it got me to thinking.
Late Sunday night during a deep conversation with KJ I said that I have an addictive personality so when I start something I have to finish it. It’s this compulsion in me to see everything I start through til the end. I said that I wished I had never gone to college or that I shouldn’t have gone to college because with my addictive personality I have this compulsion to get through it even if it seems pointless, leaves me frustrated, confused and leaping from university to university. Which makes me ask the question I once had the answer to, is college for everyone? I have to say no because at this point it is apparently not for me as I am starting to see. But I feel so obligated to finish I’ve been at this hustle for so long I can’t see quitting now. So what do I do? Pay back all those damn school loans and have not a thing to show for it, yeah somehow I don’t see where that would be acceptable. But I guess the argument there is, what is acceptable to me? And on this matter I have no honest answer because just as soon as I say let’s quit I feel inadequate and that’s not a feeling I like to sit with. So what do I do? I’ve taken time off more times then I’d like to admit I’ve worked in the working world but hell without that piece of paper which indicates that I can be taught my ass is grass and I am headed no where fast! I’m not one to like living check to check so I don’t intend to, I’m against a trillion odds should I try to win the lotto, and I’m not for working a job that I hate because when you hate your job it is so draining having to show up everyday not to mention how it can help to make you feel as if you’re loosing your mind as I do on most days…lol. But what the buck do I do?
I know, I know you’re probably saying find something you like and delve into that, but my issue is that I like so many things I don’t know where to start.
Why is it that starting is always the trouble? Hopefully with 2008 coming to a close I’ll get the answers I seek come 2009.
