Devious Journal Entry

Sun Jan 14, 2007, 9:44 PM
I'm in a rut. I just so feel so small these days. I'll try to be literal. I'm not going to intentionally beat around the bush, as it does no good for me to continue masking things. I'm doubtful anyone will read this, and that's partially why I'm posting it here rather than elsewhere. But, moving on.

Nothing is how I really want it to be. I live so much in my head that real life constantly disappoints me. I always am daydreaming about how it will be in the future, how great it will be, how my life will come together once something happens. But I'm always waiting for something to happen. If it's not one thing, it's another.

So I've decided to ante up. Make decisions and plan out my future accordingly -- but actually DO something about it. As a result, I've changed my major. No more English for me, that was a stupid stupid dream with no real future or ideas attached to it. I'm majoring in Business Administration. I know it's boring but it's likely something I'll be good at and that will provide me more job opportunities. First off, though, I'm going to get a certificate to be an Account Clerk. That way, I'll have the skills necessary to work in an accounting office or similar while I'm still in school. That way I can hopefully get out of the wild world of shitty retail jobs and possibly make a little more money.

I'm also working on a bunch of other things to better myself. I'm going to get my license, for example. For God's sake I'm almost twenty years old and I don't have a driver's license. All my shortcomings, I feel, are due to fear and laziness. I don't want to be that person anymore.

With that said, I'm done. I could go on about how I'm changing my life, but that would be the same old story over and over again. I'll try to check back if I actually complete these things. That would be more meaningful than this slop.

For now, I'm hopeful.

well linduh I'm glad your taking action now, but it saddens me to hear that your giving up on your dreams. You should just be happy now and not really care about the future.

I'm not giving up on them, I'm making new, more realistic ones while still keeping the old ones alive somehow. I'm excited about what the future will bring for me now instead of scared and confused. Besides, whatever I choose to do right now does not, by any means dictate my life. I can always change paths, run around in circles, and start back at the beginning. That's the beauty of life.

As far as I'm concerned, a degree in English won't do me any good if I have no other goals attached to it. The dream was incomplete. My idea was "I'll major in English and then _______." I thought of becoming a copywriter, but that wasn't really something I felt any inclination towards other than the fact that it was something someone with a major in English/Literature could do.

Anyway, I'll shut up. I'm just trying to explain that I'm happy with my decision. And that's that!
