Who decided we all had to work 40+ hours a week anyway? Not that I mind working, cuz I don't. I mean I have always valued hard work, I suppose I just wish I could break my routine. Come and go as I please, ya know? Be my own boss for a change.
I have always wanted to be a florist but I feel like I kind of have to give that up to become something more practical. Something that actually makes money. Long past are my teenage days where all I had to do was dream of what I was to become. I kind of miss that. Now that reality has set in all I do is count pennies and look desperately for a way to make more of them. It really is quite a bothersome way of thinking.
I want to work, but I want to spend my working hours doing something that is truly enjoyable, something I love and have a passion for! Is that really such a rarity in this world, that I should be ashamed for desiring it?
I don't know what the heck I want to be. I am grateful for my job but I feel like I'm stuck in something that's just a means of getting by. I want something much more, I just have no idea where to go or what to do.

I totally feel you. But the thing is, you CAN do all that stuff. You can save for awhile, get a week off work, and go on a California pch road trip. You can watch YouTube videos about floral design and start doing weddings. I actually am getting into floral design myself right now; I've been at it a few months and I've done 3 weddings so far! I don't make a lot of money (yet), and it's hard work, but it's something I'm learning about and working towards. My point is, you can do anything you want to do! :) thanks for sharing this thoughtful post, and I hope you find what you're looking for.
