Is it because we're the good girls who always do what is expected of us and not what we truly want?<br /><br />Yes. Yes. YES!<br /><br />14 years ago, I got stupid bold. I realized that I was in school because people expected me to be. I dropped out of college and ran away with my boyfriend (now husband) down to FL where I stayed for two weeks until I ran out of money.<br /><br />12 years ago, we got bold as a couple. My Man Beast went down to FL where he thought he had a job waiting for him. He didn't and my (then) 2 yr old son and I joined him a month later. We lived hand-to-mouth in hotel rooms, homeless shelters, and a car.<br /><br />2 years ago, I got bold. I put my kids in public school (after homeschooling them for a couple of years), got a job as a substitute cafeteria lady, took a parapro exam and got a job as a parapro. Then, The Man Beast thought I should go back to school because I had passion where he didn't. So I did.<br /><br />I am a 34 yr old woman taking a second stab at school. When I graduate and teach in a classroom, I will be 37. To say it scares the crap out of me, is an understatement.<br /><br />But I realize that life is not meant to be an item on a to-do list or worst, something to be dictated by other people or crappy circumstances. Life is meant to be embraced. We only have one chance at it - why not make it count?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265148533346763057.post-30343899792943560362010-07-17T04:47:00.838-07:002010-07-17T04:47:00.838-07:00I'm one of those stuck in a rut peeps.

Besides being terrified of what that might entail of course. I have nothing but the utmost awe and respect for those who are able to just make that change and do everything necessary to make their dreams come true.

My whole life there is only one thing I've wanted to do and I have no idea what is holding me back - fear of failure or maybe I like that I can just dream and idealize that one career.

"Waa waaa. Why is my life this way?" turns into "Ok, fuck this. It can't get any worse, so I might as well start taking some risks." And thats how I quit my job, signed up for grad school, moved for the 100th time, ended bad relationships. Sometimes, even during the decision making, I'm surprised at my boldness, but so far it has definitely proved helpful in getting out of bad situations and on to things I never thought I could do.zenLizziehttp://zenlizzie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-265148533346763057.post-15592136978551619722010-07-16T10:52:20.310-07:002010-07-16T10:52:20.310-07:00Holy Crap, girl!

And I think I am being bold - I'm almost at the "rooting around in dumpsters for pizza" stage but - I'm surviving and I'm trying to figure out what makes me happy.
