Ok, so it sucks a bit... I don't have my shiny css journal anymore, but bare with me guys! lol
So yes, you read the heading right, I quit my first job after 4 months, Im sure you can figure out that I wasn't quite as happy as I had hoped to be.
I finish at the end of the week, with which I exchange to a seemingly new career. I will be joining forces with my mom, who is the owner of two antique shops, apprenticing beneath her and then start a decor 'department' that specializes in antiquing and painting furniture and interiors.
You know, it's weird cause I never saw myself as the type of person who would study something and end up in a different career track. it's quite a strange feeling.
The prospect of owning my own business(one day) being able to do and go into anything I want is very exciting though, and inspires me in so many ways.
You know what the best part is, I was SO scared to make this leap, and I just gave it to God, and he gave me so much confirmation - saying that I needed to step out in faith and trust in him. That's what's just so amazing to me about being a follower of Christ, we just trust in him... thats all... I actually don't understand how I got by without him before I was reborn...
I will however keep on freelancing in design, but I just know that I need to hear from God what I need to do with my life, hear his guidance and rest in that.
What a true waste it would be to just run a rat race, especially if I dont enjoy it, and my creativity is just stomped on...
it makes no sense to me that I would go into a creative field like design(instead of something like accounting) - because it would make me happy... and then it doesnt...
I love art...
I hate the industry (idiotic deadlines, people who treat designers like idiots, clients who are narrow minded and boring)...
Keep well everyone,
hope I didn't ramble too much

Also, if you can't read kanji for sh*t, stop using it. It's a front to people who are learning that you'd parade your incompetence in japanese because it's 'cool'.

When the snows fall
and the white winds blow,
the lone wolf dies,
but the pack survives.
