Growing up was difficult for me, but not as difficult as most teenagers. My life as a child was awesome and I have awesome memories from that childhood, however coming into myself, in which I still struggle with to this day, was not easy.
I've grown to accept things that I can change and can't change. I've grown to know what I like and don't like and I appreciate myself for what I bring to the table.
However, there comes challenges in your life that try to take away those accomplishments and try to steal away that happiness. You ever had a job that takes away your personality?
I've come to love my rockin personality, my voice that is a mixture of high and middle undertones, my style that can be out there (in my head) and refined at the same time.
I try so hard to except my job as what it is..a job. It pays the bills, it well...pays the bills. That's all. It does not define me or make me what I am. However, I have noticed that the dress code, the way I have to speak to my customers, the script, the supervisors, the grades, the performance appraisals, they do threaten to take away something I have worked for 29 years to achieve..me. I don't know if that makes sense or not, but I feel like I am a person at work who I don't like, what I've never wanted to be.
Although in this economy, I am happy and blessed to have a job, but when it effects you like this, what do you do if the job market is so bad? Suck it up is easier said than done.
