Fired for the first time.
At first I didn't even realize I was being fired. I guess lawyers are good at that. Everything coming out of her mouth just seemed so cheery.
Sure, I totally understand you are looking for someone more full time. Yea, now would be the time to start looking for a new job this summer. Nice of you to give me some time to look. Yea I have my key card. Wait? Leave right now?
It hit so fast and so hard I didn't even realize it at first. Like a deep cut in the winter.
Whether what she was saying was truth or not, I don't know. Lawyers are tricky that way.
But I wasn't meant for that life anyway. I realized this after the shock set in, and after the tears had stopped. I am a biology major pursuing research. I don't belong in a Law Office. Sure, it was a good job- no stress, flexible hours, good pay- but it wasn't me, and it wasn't my calling.
So I got fired. What now?
Start a blog.
Yea thats a bit crazy, but it is something that I have always wanted to do. No not as a job, but just something I have always been interested in. After losing my job, I realized that I am waiting around for life to happen. There are so many things I want to do, blogging be just one of them, and I keep putting them off for security. For money. and Why? Is that what life is about? I don't think so.
So today I am jobless, but I am free.
Today marks the start of actually living my life. I am going to start doing what I want to, even in my job choices. I am going to start taking risks, even if I am afraid. I am going to start living in the moment, and finding the sunshine in every day.
And I'm gonna Blog about it. :)
