So I while I was at work on Saturday this man came up to me and asked me what I was doing with the rest of my life. Okay. Big question coming from a stranger… I told him I was going into journalism with a minor in business at my first choice school. Shortly after all that jazz I was going to be an editor.

This guy literally laughed in my face and told me I would never make a living unless I did something with math. Naturally I was really hurt that someone had laughed at my life plan. After 18 years of trying different things, deciding what I would be good at, and then finally deciding on the one thing I could picture myself doing for the rest of my life… A complete stranger laughed in my face about it?

Due to the fact that I’m too sassy for my own good I said, “Sir all due respect, I’d rather live the rest of my life happy and penniless than have any sort of math based career. You can’t discredit all the creative jobs because we wouldn’t even be in this store right now without them.”

I haven’t quit thinking about that since.

Xoxo,
