At what price happiness?

Oct 04, 2007 01:35

First things first: I got a job at Borders in Nashua. It doesn't pay as much as UPS but then again it doesn't involve strenuous physical activity in a dirty warehouse. However, I'm somewhat vexed by the fact that I can say that. When it comes down to it, I can afford to get a job that pays less because my parents will help to support me. I talked ( Read more... )

That quote strikes a chord with me. I notice that I'm very happy, but also very broke. This leaves a lot of people to foot the bill, literally, when I'm out with them. Of course, their means allow them to be able to do this, just as mine allow them to feel the happiness I give them. As lame as it may sound, I feel as though it's an example of trade in personal relationships. PRC and I, for example, as poor and busted as we may be, provide (or can provide, given the circumstances) a good measure of entertainment. Of course, while entertaining, we're also entertained, but the only way we're able to keep this up is by other people feeding/sheltering/transporting us.

I don't remember what else I was going to say, but imagine that it was something profound and mind-clearing, and also that it told you I love you.

I've been MISERABLE lately because i have been thinking about sort of the same thing. i'm going to school for something i have NO INTEREST what so ever in doing, because i know it will pay well. there are so many other things i would like to do and learn about but they are not fiscally sound options. we spend our entire lives worrying about money, about being able to make it week to week, and i can't even begin to imagine how much we miss out on because of this. its so depressing b/c i don't even know how to fix it, or if it can even BE fixed.
