Fixing stuff, myself included…
Too Many
Why is it we have to make money? It can be such an annoyance when the available avenues for the making are not of my liking. Boy, is that a spoiled brat talking or what?
Why don’t you change what your doing, as in get a regular job of some kind?
I know, I just finished the MA, and now I’m supposed to do something with it, besides put it in the drawer. What’s happened is that I don’t see myself as a therapist, although I did when I began this “educational adventure.”
Who do you see yourself as?
I see myself as an artist and web designer, but I’ve got to tell you that I’m a terrible marketer/promoter. And really why do you care anyway?
I don’t care; I’m just that questioning voice in your head, remember?
Yeah, yeah, yeah… I remember already. I just feel frustrated and need to rant and rave a bit before I go schlepping off to paint another house, lug another 5 gal. paint bucket up a flight of stairs, or sand spackle off another ceiling. What I really need to do is make a major change in how I make a living, and I procrastinate, stew around, complain and whine, when I should be planning.
Planing what?
How to make a living being an artist. Yes I know that’s perhaps a little unrealistic, but what kind of world would it be if everyone was a realist? Hmm… maybe it would be a better world, i.e. CEO’s understanding the consequences and refraining from criminal acts. No one would need Oprah’s Dr. Phil, or a pill, and every battle would be fought downhill.
You’ve gone off the deep end again!
Well then, the world would be worse off without the dreamers; we would all be mired in analyzing every decision, and critical thinking would be a prerequisite of adulthood. Each and every one of us would be required to pass an examination of motives, desires and normalcy before being allowed to proceed. Okay you’re right I tipped over the edge, and I’m hanging on by one finger nail, and a short one at that. Do you think it means I’m not a dreamer if I need some sort of rationale?
I think it means you’ve misplaced a marble or two.
