Piano roll

The past 20 years don’t count for a lot now. I remember fretting over my GCSE exams, although I never got to bothered by them, they don’t make or break a life. That’s what you find out as you get a bit older. A lot of the hype that surrounds certain aspects of your life is not really justified. Especially when it comes to a career. Yea it’s great if you knew what you wanted to do with the rest of your life at age 12 and you followed it through but that’s not most people.
I recently had a talk with this guy at a party and he gave me his number to call him to apply for a job as a salesman where he works.
I don’t think I’ll be calling him. I’m sure the money is good but so what? I must confess that I might not go back to college to continue my English course. There’s a part of me that wants to do social work or something along those lines. I wouldn’t say it’s a calling or anything as monumental as that but there is definitely a pull.
At its best this period of time gives me complete freedom but on the other hand it could be considered lonely. When i was in school or at college full time there were plenty of people all around me who were all on the same boat as me. Now I don’t know these people and I’m stood on the boat alone not quite sure of the destination. There’s a mix of insecurity and excitement.
I’ve had that same reaction from everyone when I mention booking an impromptu holiday…that look of “Don’t ask me”
I can understand that. Either they already have plans or are simply not fond of me. There could be millions of reasons and that’s why I have to do it alone at the least. If someone comes along…great, if not…I can’t wait anymore.
