Recently I've turned 30 and it's one of those things that I think either make or brake a person. For me it was a little bit of both. It seemed that when I was 23-24 everything was going the way I thought I wanted it to go, or at least how I pictured it. I had a job that I thought was so cool and that I was going to just to have a career that was like a sling shot. I was making decisions most my age were not at liberty to make and I was responsible for more than most 40 yr olds at the time would be. I was in a serious relationship that was moving forward in a direction that most people would want until it all came to a startling halt. The job I thought I loved, I no longer loved, mainly due to the fact that the person that was supposed to be leading this company decided to jump ship like a big coward, leaving me to pick up all the pieces. At first you think this could be a great opportunity, but then while going through the litter that was left realizing that not only did this person jump ship but they should have just blown it up all together and put the rest of us out of our misery. But of course like most career minded individuals this person was selfish and only thought about themselves.
Sometimes I think I should have been this way, not worry about the employees and put their troubles on my shoulders. That is one of the many lessons I learned from this though, you can't try to fix everyone else's problems, it's not like they appreciate what you can do most of the time. So here I am a 20-something trying to get their footing in the world, hold it together and continue on with my happy little life. Until the next big thing...the engagement...
