Hold Out

It has been a full week now since I've been laid off. So far so interesting. Of course my job did call to offer a position. The same position different department, same pay, same grade. Do they really expect me to accept crap all over again??? It was almost an insult.


I watched a movie once, can't really remember the name. The young lady was in love with this guy. Well, something happened to him and he did not remember her but she was trying hard to work her way back into his life. He didn't understand, he wanted to leave and give up on something that was great . . . . she on the other hand opted to hold out. She wanted to hold out for what she knew was the best, she did not want to give up as he did. Well, I do not equate a job or career to love, but I do see the point of holding out.


After years of taking things, jobs, thinking something is better than nothing is over. I especially say this for someone who has taken the time to obtain education or so call prepared themselves to be a productive citizen of this society. That person, that someone, myself, deserves better. Didn't society put these thoughts in our educated heads. Get a degree, go to college. People who attend college will have more, make more money, be a success. All of this very well could be true, but is it true for all? Personally I don't think so. Take the college I graduated from. Most of the young ladies I know are doing ok, when I say ok I mean they are able pay rent . . . . RENT not mortgage. But a certain young lady from this university does just fine. Sort of sounds like the haves and the have not's to me. Or favor, I've heard people say favor aint fair but it sure is fun! Well why would God have something like that come from him, when he claims to have no respect of person???


However, its time to not rely on what you think will just fall into place once you follow the rules. Be on top of what you want, know what it is you want and work towards that. Don't let outside voices suggest too much, I personally feel that too many suggestions can alter what your original desire is, original is always best.

  1. The last line sums it all up. Original is best! Remebering your essence or your origin and maintaining that despite it all.
