And I know what you're thinking, so let me get it out of the way and slap you right off the bat for thinking the title was a Britney Spears allusion. I am, figuratively speaking, at several crossroads in my life right now, so much so that ultimatums are being drawn.
As a rule I don't react well to ultimatums. I don't think many people do. But I have to admit that sometimes ultimatums can be necessary, and I am probaby 75% willing to concede that in my case drastic measures need to be taken. I'm kind of stuck in a rut. I'm making money, granted, but as of now there isn't much of a future in sight. Well, not an acceptable future in some people's eyes.
I know things have to change. I get it; I'm FAR from being a naive idiot -- idealistic, maybe, but not naive. Anyhow, it goes without saying that something's gotta give. Have you ever been in such a situation? Have you felt the extreme pressure? Almost as if you're running out of air and you're still uncomfortably far away from the water's surface?Labels: careers, parents, philosphy |
