Some dAys in life are no doubt better than others; but some days are life-changing and magnificent! Today was as if a door oPened up and showed me that everything I’ve done to this point was wRong, and any success I enjoyed was nothing but dumb luck. The only good thing is that it took me to this point where everythIng could come together.
First off: I got a real job! I put in appLications a few weeks back and heard nothing. Until today, that is. The job for which I applied had already been filled, but I was oFfered an opening position in the marketing department, which from what the lady told me involves mostly cOntent writing and figuring out ways to boost the web presence of the cOmpany. Now, normally, I would be extremely averse to marketing, but I’ve realized that advertising is a necessary part of modern existence and I need to have a real job. The job doesn’t pay that well, but it offers medicaL and dental and will finally allow me to feel the satisfaction of an office job.
The other amazing thing is that I’ve met someone. I never would have thought anyone could find love online, but I did! About a month ago, I joined a popular online dating site, and met this woman named Susan. I normally don’t go for women with kids, but her kid’S are both young and cute and Susan seemed really nice. So, we met a few times and hit it off. She’s so unlike the women I usually go for, and she’s got a really good, simple take on the world. When I’m with her, I don’t care about any of the things that usually get to me, and everything in the world seems innocent and peaceful. I even love her kids, Andy and Petra, though I hope she doesn’t make me change any more diapers. The only drawback is that she lives in Polk County, and right now I only get to see her on the weekenDs; but the irony is that my new job is in Clermont, so I’ll be better off staying with her and her kids than driving forty-five minutes to and from work twice a day. We’ve already talked about it, and I’ll be moving there this summer, maybe earlier. I can’t wait!
And, one more life-altering realization that I’ve come to, probably because of all the other great things that have happened, is that I’m no writer. I guess I liked writing because I like to hear myself tAlk, even though I have nothing to say. Honestly, writers tend to be pretentious, superficial, arrogant, and most of the time liars. I never liked being called a "writer," and after serious consideration, I realize that I never was and never will be. There’re so many good writers out there anyway, that I doubt I would ever be able to create anything of any lasting worth. I’m not good at grammar and I make tons of typos, anyway. I’m happy just being with a loving family and having stability in my life. This is what all people should strive for, because the world would be a much better place if we were all practical and learned to dream small. You gotta love daYs like these!
