troubadour

Well after much depression and lack of motivation to get out of bed, with my money situation having gone well beyond dire: I finally job.
I went to a couple of interviews for jobs and was offered employment but they really weren't right for me, in that I couldn't have carried on working when school back. But now I have a job doing sales at a photographers and it's quite well paid, the people all seem quite nice and I can work weekends whilst I study.
This has all gone a long way to improving my outlook because I really didn't want to return to my parents begging for food and shelter until the start of next term.
I wonder how much of my life will continue in this vain? And how much money do you need to make in order to live? There's a big difference between living and surviving though. So I guess it's a matter of what motivates you as a person. Myself I've never been too bothered about money, sure I like to have some nice stuff and eat well, but I think for me living is about meeting new people, going places and experiencing new things. I also have other intrests etc but I think one of my biggest fears is not being able to be creative.
Surviving has been hard over the last couple of months and living damn near impossible. I've been pushed to the edge with a combination of school, money and personal issues. It's only now that I've have a week off that I have been able to reflect on some of the things I've done.
I think a new moring is appearing on the horizon as 2004 starts to draw to a close and I sense fear, danger, sadness, joy, success and hope are all yet to come.
