Secure

May 29, 2008 - 22:05 PM PST

So I start my new job on Monday, at one of the biggest agencies in Vegas, and I am super excited. I feel like things are really going my way, and I feel like you know, moving across the country was in fact the right decision. I was thinking about it recently, and if I had stayed in upstate NY, I would be training to be a grocery department manager. I know that that's exactly where I'd be, and while I'd be making a decent living (because once you put in some time, you really do make some money. Store directors can make 6 figures), I would be miserable because I'd feel like that time I spent in school learning about art and beautiful things was going to waste. I'd be too depressed to make art, and I'd just be a real bitch. Even though leaving my parents, and moving to a place where the only person I knew was my boyfriend was really really scary, I feel like it forced me to grow so much faster. I feel a lot older than I am, but in a good way. I feel secure in myself for the first time in my life.
