So, been a while since I've logged into Blogger on my other accounts.. They got a bit pissy I suppose. The main reason I got a Blogger account, or anything remotely social, was because 'all my friends were doing it'. It seemed fun at the time, so I posted my, 'feelings', which is the closest word I can come up with..
So.. Here I am, just, rambling about my life. Without sending this to anyone, I doubt anyone would read anyway, I thought it'd just be, less known to people, so I can say whatever I want really. I like to vent at times, vent my emotions till they're all happy afterwards. As Buddha once said - Holding onto anger is like grasping hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else, it's only you who gets hurt. Or something similar to those lines.
There's alot of things my friends say that make me think, not just about 'what're they saying?!', but how it would affect me, if I was in the situation, if I am in that situation. One of my friends told me today, that she's thinking of changing her path of what she wants to do in life.. Instead of the path that's harder, that'd get her to a place where she's happy, she considered the easy road, which got a job where money is the most important asset.
People used to tell me all the time, that work isn't meant to be fun, it's meant to be work (and I'm sure many people have heard the same). Though, it doesn't necessarily mean that you'll be miserable. There's alot of meaning, in my view, to that saying. You can either have work, which is real heavy work, but it gets you money, gets you unhappiness! But gets you enough money to support yourself, and gives you the option of starting up a family much earlier. Then there's the Work-Money-Happy job: You live with your parents or room-mate, you work in a job that gives enough money to pay off rent, and buy luxury.. You wouldn't have enough to have a family, you might not even want a family, the mentality of that might change or it might not. Seems great, then you realise that you hate your job, you're bouncing from one to another.
I may not be experienced in this, I don't even have my first job, but I can easily make out that those paths are easy.. You go to school, college, uni, whatever, you get grades, you get jobs, that's it. You might not even need good grades. It's silly and pathetic for someone who's dedicated, who has talent and shouldn't waste it.
The path that my friend should choose, and not just in MY opinion, is the one her heart tells her to follow, not something that'd give her stress for the rest of her life, she's way too sweet for that. Sure, she'll work hard even if she has it, though wouldn't she be happy? It's all a bit dramatic for me to be saying this, it's not like I'm a big success either, I'm in a big struggle to be who I want to be, but I don't want my friends to suffer.
Sure, work is work, it's hard, though if you do it right, I'm positive that it could be rewarding, you'll have a name that you can live by with pride. I've expressed my views, and I hope she reconsiders. She has an amazing talent, which I don't want to go to waste..
Maybe I'm just the wrong person to explain..
I'm sure it'd work out, hopefully.
