Be Patient, Miss Monica
Patience has never been my virtue. I've never been one to want to wait for something I want. This is why, until recently, I never shopped online.
Instant gratitude.
I hate to be that person, but I grew up in a generation that was duped by the "overnight success." The person who didn't have to work hard. The person who didn't graduate with $90,000+ in student loans. The person who just so happened to be in the right place at the right time.
That. Is bull.
I claim I'm a hard worker, and I am, but I'm also lazy. I'm one of the biggest procrastinators you'll meet. Simply because things aren't happening as quickly as I think they should. This path I chose is not an easy one. I mean, Humanities?! Really??? I have to remind myself that I'm not going to be able to go abroad at the drop of a hat like some of my peers who are in Corporate America. Right now. My time to shine will come, but it's a longer hike to the top.
And I am not ashamed. Although many say I should be.
I chose my passion. I didn't choose money. I didn't choose job security. I crave adventure. I want happiness.
