Welcome to steemit Mariah, you have nice eyes! I liked what you said about not knowing what you wanted to be, and that you didn't feel like you fit in the career lifestyle! Most people still think in the old paradigm of trading their time for money, working full-time jobs, but some of us might feel instead the real goal is freedom from that.. maybe self development, or pursuit of art in all its forms. I am also relatively new to steemit, but I know that if we offer value in our posts, it will eventually return to us on steemit in the form of knowledge and money! I followed you, if you like follow me too, thanks!
Thank you for that! And thank you for taking the time to read my post! I don't wannnnnna work a full time job anymore, not that I've been at this whole "life" thing for very long but if i'm this sick of it now, I can only imagine how sick of it I'll be in 10 years! We can be Steemit newbies together. You've absolutely got my follow and I hope to hear from you now and again!
Yep, those full-time hours are a drag, even in an ideal job! I find it funny that the average person where I work actually seems to prefer working full-time, as if they wouldn't know what to do with themselves with no constant job (other than watch tv!)... I think that breaking free of society starts with expanding our hobbies, doing something that actually excites us and figuring out a way to get paid from it - do you know what that is for you yet?
You know, no I don't. In my first post ever on here I kind of mentioned a job I had gotten while I was in high school. My father owned a Towing and Recovery business and I loved that job more than life itself. I ran the whole operation for about six years before my dad sold the business. After that I got a new job because the direction the new owners were taking the business was weird and almost careless. I got a job working at a court house near by and I hated that, I didn't like being the one taking money from people who had gotten tickets, that's when I began to really hate government. I quit there and got a job working at a local car dealership and I don't like this job either. I don't really know what to try or where to go from here but I do know that I love Steemit. And I'm hoping that by being on here I can think of some new ideas for myself and eventually be able to turn this life around.
