I've figured out that my best friend really is very, very negative, and was a huge part of kinda egging me on, or making me depressed about things. She was suggesting the webcam stuff, or getting a sugar daddy. She's now suggesting that I go work at Home Despot or something like it. I, on the other hand, would rather get a job bartending or waitressing in NYC, which will pay a lot more money for less work, plus be lots of fun.
She hasn't said as much, but I can tell that she wants me to stay in safe ol' Bergen County, away from 24 hour transportation. I had to vehemently remind her today that I'm looking to move right near the city, into Hudson County. See seems to conveniently forget that fact. She really does see me working a dead-end, soul-killing job, and living in a small, isolated apartment where I can't go anyplace unless she's driving me. My other friends are standing behind me making me dream of a website come true. They support me wanting to do things like publish ebooks, do online tarot readings, run an Ebay store, actually be able to concentrate on designing and making clothing...the list goes on and on.
I have so many skills; there is no reason why my hands and brain can't make me at least $1000 a month to live on. A part time nightlife job would really help, and I can get that. It's just hard when the people closest to you say that they don't see me being able to get an apartment as a freelancer, or that my sending resumes to do constructive jobs in my skill set is a waste of time. |
Hey Isis Kali,
I'm very happy to hear you can tell the difference between who to listen to and who to ignore...
run, don't walk, from the negative people who want you to be negative!
I don't have any real advice, but from what I read, you're thinking from the right place, anything that improves the quality of your life and moves you up is good, anything that doesn't, drop it like it's hot.
*hugs*
