I took the day off today for no reason but I wanted to. Oh, the beauty of self employment let me tell you.
The path here was not easy and I’m nowhere near done either. The fact that I’ve been owned by one company or another for over 15 years is hard to believe. Nonetheless, I am free now, and I’m never going back.
So, back to my day off… I took the day off today with every intention of doing literally nothing. I knew I couldn’t do it, here I am creating a new website and blog while running laundry in the basement. I think I’m on load four now. Anyway, I didn’t do any of my other moneymaking tasks today that involve going out and serving people so that’s a plus. I’ve also fallen behind on home chores so a day off was due to me. I’ll have no problem getting back to it tomorrow.
Now to the point: I’ve always wanted to be a writer since I was very young. The problem was I was raised in the south side of Chicago and here you learn a trade, go out and work to put food on the table. I didn’t have anyone in my youth to look up to for any other lifestyle. I had an uncle that was a lawyer and then judge and I looked up to him for that but that wasn’t a career choice I was willing to pursue. I just didn’t like the idea of arguing, yet alone being trained to be a professional arguer. That seemed like hell on earth for someone like me.
Now that I’m grown and have removed myself from the corporate grip and the south side propaganda machine. I can clearly look around and see what lifestyle would suit me the best. A professional writer. Now that’s something I can get on board with. See, you can just belt words out and there is no arguing, no convincing. There is no debate, you can just tell it like you see it. Whether people agree or disagree is not my concern.
Thank you for reading.
