27 Feb making my own path
well i am officially no longer in the corporate world. without a 401k or benefits, just standing on my own two feet. nothing is guaranteed, but i’m set on making my own way. i’ve preached on and on about this but i’m so glad to be done with the corporate bullshit. i want to do something that i’m passionate about, that fulfills me. so here the real work begins.
ill be working part time as a waitress. quick and dirty work. i loved waitressing. and i have some other odd ventures i’ll be doing to take care of the bills. but i’m excited to learn new things and evolve creatively.
i dont have much to say today. i’ve been revamping my itunes library and i ran across this old gem a couple days ago.
love, me by collin raye
i read a note my grandma wrote back in 1923
grandpa kept it in his coat
and he showed it once to me
he said boy you might not understand
but a long long time ago
grandma’s daddy didnt like me none
but i loved your grandma so
we had this crazy plan to meet
and run away together
get married in the first town we came to
and live forever
but nailed to the tree where we were supposed to me
instead
i found this letter
and this is what it said
if you get there before i do
dont give up on me
ill meet you when my chores are through
i dont know how long ill be
but i’m not going to let you down
darlin wait and see
and between now and then
until i see you again
ill be lovin you
love, me
i read those words just hours before
my grandma passed away
in the doorway of the church
where me and grandpa stopped to pray
i know i’d never seen him cry
in all my 15 years
but as he said these words to her
his eyes filled up with tears
if you get there before i do
dont give up on me
ill meet you when my chores are through
i dont know how long ill be
but i’m not gonna let you down
darlin wait and see
and between now and then
until i see you again
ill be lovin you
love, me
i remember hearing that song sooo many years ago and i thought the story was so sweet.
stay tuned. <3
