I am finally making moves for myself. I stood up to my parents with no fear. I feel very confident in the moves that I am making. My parents were upset with me when I told them I would be going out of town back to DC. I told them of my plans to network and interview with staffing agencies as that first step. This move is not just for love, it is also for freedom. I was wondering why they were so upset. Mainly because I had just started working at the job I have now. They have fears that everything will go wrong. They are afraid that I will fail. But I have lived my life in a box for too long. If I wait around any longer I am going to be like I was with that other retail job I had. I was working there for two years and still haven't found any other work. So I need to get a head start on moving where the jobs are. There are plenty of entry-level jobs for young workers in DC. The only thing they have here in SC are factory jobs. Those are the ones where you make tons of money doing labor for 15 hours straight. Umm...not my cup of tea. Thank you very much. It is hard enough being a cashier.



I know that it will be hard. But I believe my boyfriend (future fiancee) and I can do it. The two of us being in the same area will definitely make this relationship easier because this distance is causing a big strain. My boyfriend and I had a nice talk and I can see true commitment around the corner. You never know where life will lead you though but sometimes you have to take that risk!!!
