Life

Life is ever changing and a I think that everyone struggles
with change to a certain degree. People encourage you to make changes when you aren't happy but isn't easy for them to make the suggestions when they aren't the ones that have to actually deal with the change and the events that transpire when we undergo change. So what is the answer? Do we live in an unhappy state or do we take the leap and try change? I have always known that I would jump around in terms of jobs in my lifetime. I enjoy doing something for awhile and then it is time to move on. Once you have left your mark in a place I believe that it is time to move on and leave your mark somewhere else. Life shouldn't be going to the same cubicle day after day with no end in sight. It should be enjoyable and memorable. I am going to make a conscious effort to change my life to make it memorable. I know that people get frustrated with me because I tend to jump off the deep end at times. Rather than thinking about how I can change little things in my life I think dramatic change is needed to make me happy. Hence the moving to New York. Would living in New York with my closest friends and relatives make me happy? I have no idea, or am I better off to change my hair and live with that change instead. I firmly stand on my two favorite sayings; and I mean that I actually am standing on them, the tattoos on my feet. "When you stop dreaming it's time to die" and "The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow". I love both of these phrases. I believe that everyone should have hopes and dreams for their lives. Whether it be getting a PhD or it being able to have $50.00 in your bank account at the end of the month. Everyone needs something to live for. If you have nothing to look forward to then what are you living for? And I laugh everything off. I am the odd one in my family for this because when everyone else is mad and swearing about the situation I find humor in it. I hope that this trait will continue with me for the rest of my life. If you can't laugh then you are truly an unhappy soul and I feel sorry for you. I look around at my co-workers and they really aren't a happy bunch! How depressing it is to work in this atmosphere. Hey, but it does give me the incentive to finish my degree that much sooner so that I am a candidate for other jobs. Work is just place that we go to for 8 hours a day; it isn't a life, it's just a place. Really when you think about it a job really does get in the way of life but if you are positive about it a job can be part of your life, it is when it becomes your life that you are in trouble.
