I'M GOING ON AN ADVENTURE

Greetings, Earthlings.

Okay, so the introduction is rough I understand this. I haven't written a blog post in six years. In my past, there was a point where I wrote everyday. My goal was to become a writer and I thoroughly enjoyed living in a world where I believed I could make that a reality. However, I eventually grew up and moved out of my parents house and was hit with reality. There are few good paying careers that you can get with writing degree. So, at 45 credits I dropped out.

I was already working in retail at the time, and I eventually decided that could be my career. I tried to work my way up with one company before the idiocy of the general public inspired me to go back to school. I had a revelation that education was my calling. I went back to school and even had the audacity to get a degree. Then tragic school shootings increased, and redundant curriculum disintegrated the integrity of my mentors classrooms. I watched one of my teaching inspirations live paycheck to paycheck as she educated the future. The rewards for such an important job did not equal the efforts in my eyes.

I returned to retail with a vengeance. I decided I would go to school for Business Management and climb the corporate ladder. Eventually, I'd be completely fucked by corporate; beaten, broken down, and burnout. The weekend before I quit my job I took a luxurious vacation with my sister and reclaimed myself. I returned home and quit my job. I faced a lot of anxiety about doing this, as society preaches that you need a job in order to survive. Thanks to my partner, we are afloat and I couldn't be more grateful.

I am currently on the job hunt. However, in my spare time I plan to blog. I'm going to pursue my 15 year-old dream and become a writer. I have created this blog to use as practice in addition to content examples for my portfolio. Starting tomorrow, I will post once a day for thirty days following this blog prompt order:
