pardon the surge

im so tired of explaining to people my choices and decisions. the worst thing is, they don't really listen. or if they do, surprisingly, they just disapprove and refute everything. why can't you just respect them and back off. this is how i want to live my dreams, now move on with your lives!

since when did being happy about your work and finding meaning in what you do considered "settling for less?" when you're happy, you're happy. end of story. even if doesn't fit into the conventional idea of success. read: loads of cold hard cash. i believe richard bach's wife leslie parrish is right. in living, we must deal only in the currency that is meaningful to us. would i gamble my life just to get a million scrunchies? what are scrunchies anyway but stuff without an ounce of meaning to me. the currency i want to deal with is called happiness and meaning. im working for my happiness not just to earn a million pesos. like i could.. (grin..)

people can be so difficult. strangers understand better.
