One day you wake up and realize that your life is not what you wanted. You graduate from high school and college. You get a full time job with benefits. You work to gain that promotion. You buy a nice car and clothes. You get that title. Then, you realize that this is it. The alarm rings at 6am and you groan. Not because of the early hour, but the day you must face. This isn't what you wanted. Your parents worked so hard so you could go to college and make a better life for yourself. So, you do. But, is is better? More money, more things...yes! Happier?!! I wanted to make my parents proud. I wanted to show them that putting me through college was money well spent. I did what I thought they wanted. Suddenly, you realize that you had it all wrong. They did not want you to be unhappy. Ever. They thought a better job, better education and more opportunities would make you happy. You Happy. I've been working so hard to make them happy and all they wanted was for ME to be happy. I had it all wrong. They want me to be happy. I don't know where this road will lead. But, I'm very excited to find out. And, I am going to do exactly what my parents wanted. I am going to be happy.
Meet Kim. (Yeah, I stole this post from the movie "Meet Bill". SFW!!)
