(no subject)
So I just purchased my ticket back to the city. For some reason I am extremely nervous about going back. Maybe it's because I'm not financially prepared to go. I really can't turn down this opportunity though. My internship is amazing. I couldn't be more excited that they wanted me to come back. And when it comes down to it, I really have nothing to lose. I'm young. I'm reckless. I'm not tied to anything (except paying my student loans back...ugh).
But money is still stressing me out. I really want stability in my life. I worked my ass off in college to ensure that I would have a full time job upon graduation. The whole economy thing is out of my hands. There is nothing I can do about it. But I just want to be making a decent income. I want to be able to live in my own apartment and to not have to worry about paying rent. I want to pay my bills and still have some money left over for going out. I hate that I have to continue to struggle like I did in college. I don't deserve this!
And I know I'm not the only one. I feel like a lot of people are in my situation. I know my hard work will pay off soon. I need to keep reminding myself of that. I need to tell myself that everything will be ok, because it will be. Things may suck, but I can get through them. I'm a soldier!
(side story: When I was in NYC last I went on a date with the lead creative director for Ed Hardy. It was GOD AWFUL. But I did tell him the rundown of my life and he called me a soldier. It was probably the only good thing about that date.)
Another thing that has been bothering me is the fact that I have to crash on my friend's couches for a few weeks. I have a really really hard time asking for help. It's one of my faults. I'm one of those do-everything-on-my-own types. It stresses me out though. But I must remind myself that these people are my friends and they want to help. They want to see my succeed.
I have a lot to be excited about though. Hello! It's New York City! When I left I was in the process of making new friends and contacts. I also met someone literally four days before I came home. We have a pretty interesting connection. Something that I can't turn away from. But more on that later :)
