I asked people to make an assumption about me on my instagram story, and I wanted to share them with you because I feel like these are common first impressions that I'd love to elaborate on. I can be the life of the party when I feel like it, but I'm not going to put on a show if I don't feel energetic that day. In person, I tend to let people [in group settings, in past relationships, and in old friendships] walk all over me because I don't want to start any trouble. Granted, it's a lot of time and effort to shoot the content (on average at least an hour per photo though it's usually more like 3-4 for pre and post production), and the value of the content is much larger than the value of the gifted clothing...

I would cry on my lunch break and on my drive to and from work, I stopped feeling motivated in all aspects of my life, I spent the weekends in waves of sadness not knowing what had come over me, and I was at an all time low. Not only do I wake up feeling fulfilled and special and thankful to be able to put all of my talents and creativity to use in my work every day, but I wake up knowing that I am valued by the people that hired me. It won't be a day that will be so busy we won't get to enjoy it, it won't be a day focused on pleasing our guests, and it won't be a day that we'll be paying off for years. and I wish I could share them all with you, but sadly I can't even begin to put into words the laughter I've shared or the way I feel when Tylar smiles at me or the feeling I get when someone compliments my work or the goosebumps I get when I watch a California sunset knowing I'm living my dream.

I would steal my brothers clothes, attempt to wrestle and play football with him, wear boy's sneakers, and play video games with him. I'm now the proud owner of the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition console. Not to mention, the All-Digital Edition of the Xbox One S is $50 cheaper than the console with a disc-drive, so it saves money and clutter. I have the Xbox Game pass, but you can also purchase thousands of games from the present and past to play.

It wasn't the job or the company that was the problem, it was the fact that being locked in an office for forty hours a week is a situation I can't handle. In the last generation, it was completely normal to graduate high school (or college, if you were lucky) and work a job you didn't like for years just to put food on the table. It made me realize that even if there was a compromise or a change, I still couldn't find meaning in what I was doing. If you get anything out of this, I hope it's that it's okay to take a leap of faith in order to do what's best for yourself.
