Why I Would Rather Chisel Shit Off a Toilet Than Go Back to My Corporate Career
Back in 2012 I experienced an awakening. I felt like there must be something more to life & I had no desire to stay in the corporate world. The thought of sitting at my computer, in an office for the next 30 years was worse than being stabbed in the stomach.
I would rather be in jail where I could read novels, learn a trade or at least have the time to exercise regularly. (I have no idea what prison is really like but I used to joke with my partner that I would quite like all of that time to write & contemplate. I have heard of individuals earning a law degree in jail or becoming an artist and I knew I would use my time wisely.)
Alas, I am not a criminal. There must be some other way to escape this adulting, to do what I love, to daydream, to work at a job that doesn’t seem like torture, but what should I do, and how should I do it?
I guess to say the awakening happened in 2012 is not completely accurate. For 9 years prior I was already planning to evolve into something other than a number cruncher (no offense to anyone who likes this work, I wish I did, for it would have made my life a lot easier).
I had a pull, and you know what that means; follow your intuition or she will drag you by the hair!
