Dependably independent

One thing I have learnt about being an adult is that you need to be independent. I thought I had gotten that little bit covered when I moved from one country to another to live by myself.

Apparently as an adult, one has to constantly be pushed to an area of discomfort in other to prove some sort of adultness. I often wonder what life would have been like had I stayed in my cocoon bliss of no work. However, I find it fascinating the perseverance of human nature when faced with challenges. This is a skill I needed to learn in order to be independent while still depending on my learning curve looking ahead at my growth path.

Beginning of Adulting

A lot has happened since the last time, I have finally finished school, I got a job and basically I am becoming an adult. That is something I really do not feel I want to be; an adult. It is not the best life I must say. There are bills to pay, there are co-workers to deal with, there are groceries to buy and worst of all I have to go to bed early so I can wake up early to go to work. Why am I torturing myself in this way? I love my job. It is a weird thing to say in a world where people are constantly complaining about their work and life. I enjoy what I do and how I touch lives. As a child I was facinated by electricity. I wanted to know where it came from, how it was made and why we depended so much on it. My facination has not died, in fact every time I pass a high tension transmission line I become happy. Something so magnificient can kill in...
