"What do you stay awake for?"-Caribou
This is an excellent question posed by the plastic cup of my caramel cooler, one I don't know that I could even answer off the top of my head. Shouldn't this be in the forefront of my thoughts?
I'm awake right now, and I don't even know what for...
Quick update:
Although I enjoy teaching and fell madly in love with all the families I worked with, the environment itself was destructive to my spirit. The negative pool that this place became sucked the life out of my smile, the skip out of my step, and the teacher that I know myself to be.
That's where I draw the line.
New job or not, I had to leave.
And I did.
Which brings me back here, in my cozy little nook at Caribou,
staring at this simple yet profound question on my cup.
I'm stumped. I can't tell you the last time I asked myself what I wanted to do without consulting someone else, going with someone else's idea, or having my own idea bashed and squared away. And that's the problem, my "put everyone first" mentality is doing a number on me.
I'm going to make a list of things that I enjoy, and make sure that I work that into my day. Anything additive will be worked around this list. I'm putting myself first for once, and I can't wait to see what that looks and feels like.
