Clueless, but there for you!
Disenchanted: the word of the week. Or year! It's only January, after all.
The weight of everything I don't know is absolutely killing me. Everyday I realize more and more how clueless I am, on design, on career, on people, on life.
On another note, I did quit my job, am in search of greener pastures, and will probably meet my death (or my new cardboard home) through this whole t- shirt making gig, but at least I have done something different. That doesn't involve cubicles.
And I've never been more terrified.
Luckily, it's people like Krista who keep me grounded and remind me that I am being a total drama queen and my career/life is not down the toilet. And, she writes me cute Myspace comment poems like this one:
She'll be a free woman real soon
Quit her job, now she's over the moon
Silk screening t shirts and undies
(And she nannies on Mondays)
I'm so glad she lives in the next room!
So, I guess my point is this: when you think your life totally sucks (I myself ricochet daily between being excited to work in my sweatpants and freaking out about healthcare) and/or you are terrified (by whatever), just remember
-a flair for the dramatic runs in the family
-life is full of disappointment, sometimes constant disappointment (for a little while), but when it gets to be too much,
-you have lots of people who love you and will listen to you rant or weep, depending, and will most likely make you laugh in the end.
And I'm one of them- that goes for both of you!

:) Thank goodness Krista is there! And soon, this summer, I will be too!
I can understand your mixed feelings. If you didn't have at least a couple doubts, you'd probably be plunging blindly into something without thinkingl and that, of course, leads to disaster.
But you are acting responsibly and you have plans (like Finn! Sorry, I'm on a Grey's kick...) and you will be much happier sans cubicle and with the freedom to try a few new things. After all, if you can't do it now, when you're young, you'll never be able to till you're old and retired and unable to really enjoy yourself quite so well in sweatpants since old, retired people wear sweatpants every day.
<3333 I am sending you all my love and support and I am totally behind you! Tell Krista that her poetry-writing skills are highly enviable. Perhaps in a haiku.
thanks bonwa :)
