Being disillusioned is not so bad after all

Doesn't really have anything to do with the post, but damn it, I love this picture.

First of all, I apologize for my long absence. The office cut off my wi-fi.

Now back to our heavy heavy conversation.

Idealism is such a heavy word, isn’t it?

Maybe this convo that we’ve been having is not about idealism after all, because it is such a broad word and, let’s face it, it’s been thrown around quite loosely. So maybe, it’s more about being disillusioned. Disillusionment is an inevitable part of growing up, after all.

I guess Minnie is right. Maybe it is not the death of idealism, rather the process of getting more realistic. Which is not such a bad thing. It keeps you grounded. It makes you see thing as is. And thanks, Minnie, for reminding me that I haven't really given up. I still know what I want. I still know where my line is and I still try not to cross it (just know that my line is very far away). 

That being said, I do want to clarify something. I might have come off like I hate my job in the last post. Quite on the contrary, I love my job. I like what I do, I like the people I work with, and I even like my boss. How many people can say that with a straight face, right?

So after a few weeks of careful consideration, I’ve decided not to kick myself for doing this “un-idealistic” job (let’s pretend that “un-idealistic” is a word). I’ve decided to be proud of myself for landing this job and for now, I’m just gonna enjoy it. However, I know for sure that I’m not gonna stay for long if only because I am NOT a corporate girl. I’ve always known that, and now I’m sure of it. But for now, I'm going to enjoy it and stop whining.  

Now let's move on and start whining about other things.

Cheers,
