Recklessness

Apr 01, 2008 - 09:05 AM PST

Something that someone said recently really got me thinking. This is our time to be reckless. Yea man. I don't have anything really tying me down. First I told my mother the other day that I want to go straight and get my PHD when I graduate in December, and she told me she would disown me. I said well mom, I have a great flow going here, a momentum, I should just see this one through. She said that I'm reading my flow wrong and I'm misinterpreting my momentum. So then I told me best friend a couple of days later that I'm trying to find a way to travel for a while (as in 2 yrs) after I graduate without having to pay my loans back right away. She told me that I'm nuts and that I need to go get a job. But my whole thing is, I know what I love but I don't know how I translate that into something I get paid for, plus I have my whole life to work, and move to the suburbs (I just threw up a little in my mouth) and conform to the role of a woman. But right now, instead of heading to the computer lab to finish my powerpoint on harm reduction techniques and drug use, I just want to sit on my counter in my kitchen and sip my tea.....
