Reliance On...
Friday, June 27, 2008
Sometimes I get so tired of everyone relying on me so much, that on a whim, I kind of just want to fuck the expectations of others of me to be graceful and just take a deep breath and bow out with a vengeance. This is my wild hair - and at the moment it's sticking straight north and tempting me to do something a little crazy.
I've had several people tell me, "follow your heart and the rest will fall in place."
And so, I've been cramming everything that my heart wants into the hours of 5pm and 9am (excepting weekends) and still not feeling like i'm completely appeasing one of my core decision makers. I'm not upset, or unhappy - just wondering - because that's what 26-year-olds do.
With all of the things I wonder on a day-to-day basis - one thing that I feel certain on as of late: if you can learn to overcome loneliness - you become invincible.

I'm from Denver, CO. I love to travel - both alone and with friends - explore new places and really learn the personality of a city. I own my own PR firm and offer support to creative professionals including authors, musicians and small business. My husband writes and performs live music (often for kids at local libraries in town), and we have a little boy who loves to travel as much as we do.
