Twenty Questions

Do we really have enough time in our lives? Ever since I got into a relationship and I quit my ’stable’ job. I have had loads of questions popping into my head. For example if i really did go ahead to try and pursue this.. will I make it? Will I be able to sustain myself? This is just me I’m talking about what bout my partner? What would he think if he was the more stable bread maker… and I wasn’t. But only am able to fend myself just so I can survive.

If I freelance will it help me at all? If got a real job.. would I be able to sustain my passion for the arts, entertaining people while I suffer the life of a normal desk job (I’m not being insulting here) ?

I can’t have everything I know and right now I’m struggling and it’s tough. And I hate it on one hand, cause the reality is…. I don’t have enough cash. I don’t have the cash to want to get my own place, I don’t have the cash to try out for education to help me in this. I also don’t have the cash to suddenly go to another country and try out.

I’m bummed out.

If I was alone or single maybe it won’t be so bad. But at the same time I can’t help thinking of my ‘family future’. You know for a woman, the years are so short. There is so much we want to do and at times the opportunities don’t come. Or when they do it’s not fast or early enough.

Worse still, I would like to think that I can have kids at younger age. Considering that I know I’m on the bigger side of the scale. Which means I already have issues trying to lose weight. I’ve seen even the skinniest of people pile on the pounds when they get pregnant. Oh my gosh!! And it doesn’t help when you know you have a person who is staying with you who will tell say to you “I hope you won’t become like that”. That in reference to somebody who is really really big and obese and having a weight problem…

I’m having those moments where i could be over thinking.

    well.. I think your conflict here is that you're trying to measure "success" in life with two totally different yardsticks, where one is the more "traditional" one with the many 'C's (cash, car, condo, club, children, church, etc) and the other being how far you as an individual can develop, how much you can contribute to society and how big a mark you will leave in this world. One is more materialistic and the other is more idealist and problem is that one can't have the cake and eat it too... and the pressure is on because each of these measures exist in a social circles where the ideals are strongly biased in oppersite directions. To be fair each path has it's pros and cons... and each of them can be fulfiling, so the question is, Which fulfils you best? Some people take pride in their ability to run a household, and raise a close knit family, while others don;t care much for a home life and would rather strive to leave their mark in sociaty at large... I think deep down if we were to silence the demons of self doubt, we all know which we are...
