I have not found a new job yet. Something keeps bothering me, as I sit awake at 11 pm on a work night, dreading the fact that I have to work another day with a cranky micromanager. She has moments where she isn’t awful, but she can be hard to work with. I’m not sure my confidence can handle. It is already shaky at best.
Also, we had these surveys and filling out my dream job has me a little worked up inside. Travel blogger was my answer. I like to write. I love to travel. Makes perfect fucking sense. It has been holding my brain hostage since. Which means there is a part of me that wants that… Or something like that.
My job is not what I would call an inspiring one. It’s a pay the bills one. I’m pragmatic enough to realize the importance of paying my bills.
However, there’s also the part of me that needs an escape from this dull shit that I call my day to day life. I want to hike the Grand Canyon and feel like a damn storybook. I’m not a storybook right now. It is fucking boring as hell.
Am I crossing into complainer mode? A bit. However, if I have proven anything to myself in the past two years, it is that I have the lady cajones to take a chance on shit. Even if it turns out to be a totally fucking regrettable disaster. At least I try.
Another discovery I’ve made is that I am obsessed with modernized Greek myths. There’s this comic online called Lore Olympus done by Rachel Smythe, and I am pretty sure I’ve read completely through to the current chapter at least three times.
I think because there’s something about the Hades character that makes me go, “Yes, where is the man that embodies what this iteration of Hades personifies?”
I have come to really enjoy my solitude over the past year or so, but once in a while, something like that tugs at my beaten up heartstrings. Then, I remember there’s still a bit of a romantic buried under the sarcasm and epic puns.
Until next time,
Kelsey
