From a social recluse to a somewhat just ok functioning member of society

Ask Again in a Year

It’s always been really hard for me to make decisions. I change my mind every fifteen minutes, and my career choice is not an exception. The first thing I ever said I wanted to be as an adult was a stay-at-home mom. I said I didn’t even want to go to school because I wanted Read More

Dream job?

“What is your dream job?” seems to be the most asked question when we were young. The answers would probably be mostly doctor, teacher, or scientist. Growing up, it has always been hard for me to answer the question. I guess I just want to be so rich that I don’t have to work. My Read More
