Song of the night: "The Girl You Think I Am" by Carrie Underwood
"I've got my faults and I've got regrets, and I know there's more on the road ahead. When I wonder if I'll ever measure up, oh I thank God for a father's love."
I recently came across this song, and it's all I've been listening tonight. It's a song that reminds me why I became a fan of Carrie Underwood in the first place. Not only can she sing, she can write and tell a story through her songs.
Anyways, I guess I've been at a bit of a crossroads lately. Graduation pictures are filling my newsfeed on facebook. It's a reminder that two years have passed already. Where am I? Not exactly where I thought I would be. I'm not complaining. I am happy to have a job that pays my bills, but now I'm ready. I just want to be back on set and planning and in the entertainment industry. There's an itch in me that keeps telling me it's time. It's time to do what I've come here to do.
So, if you're reading this and know of any positions, please let me know. :)
Here goes putting that degree to use, and here begins the application process. It's more than worth it.
Random thought on my mind lately: People tend to think that my generation (the millennials) is a lazy generation. Yes, there are some people who are lazy, but that goes for every generation. There are many people my age who I know who work like crazy. If you want some perspective, for the past year, i have been working 6 days a week every week (which is anywhere from 55 to 70 hours a week). I have taken 3 additional days off (all of which I still had my phone on in case something happened .. which did), and I left early twice because 1)I was sick for over two weeks and 2) because I hurt my back one time from falling down the stairs (and that was only two hours early). In a year, I have been off 55 days doing a job that isn't in my field or putting my degree to use. On top of that, I pay my bills every month. i am not a "trust fund" baby. I know in time, this will all pay off. In the meantime, 60 hour weeks are sticking around.My story is just one of many. So many people work hard and crazy hours to make a living. Just because it isn't a major field or anything doesn't mean they are lazy. Even if it is a field they went to school for, people still work so much because you have to.
With elections coming up quickly, it seems people don't support certain candidates because the lazy millennials support him. Just remember, there are plenty of millenials and other generations who work incredibly hard for little. There are plenty who don't, but it's not just my generation, it's across the board.
(No, I'm not saying who i'm voting for by the way because I still don't know.)
Just a little something that took up my car thoughts the last couple of days. Driving in Los Angeles is a great time to think. For me, working as much as I do, I can't wait to put those hours into a job I fully love.
As it is getting closer and closer to 10PM, I think it is time for bed.
Dottie is currently on the floor next to my bed waiting for me to say it's time for bed. She is definitely one of the best decisions I have made in a while. Dogs just make life better. She is my companion. It makes me so happy when I come home to wagging tail and happy smile after a long day (or a good day) at work. She snuggles every night.
Life is about to get interesting, time for some changes.
peace.love.happiness.
