I'm coming to realise that my life would probably be easier if I was a simpering mess who relied on other people to make decisions for me, pay my expenses, and generally be responsible for me.
I have always prided myself on my independence. I don't care what jobs, and how many of them, I have to do to keep my head above water. Hell, I went back to work two weeks after my son was born because I refused to let him be raised in poverty and after moving out at 19 have only lived with a parent for 6 weeks since (and that was only because Stuart and I had just split up). The latter might be weird to you if you come from a country where 18 year olds routinely live independently, but remember that I live in Australia, a country where it is quite common to find 30 year olds living at home and leaching off their parents (and I can assure you said 30 year olds have no intention of supporting their parents when they are too old to work).
The point to this rambling is; it doesn't do me any favours.
It does, however, give me more of a 'right' to air my opinions, of which I have many, vastly-unpopular ones. I would abort a Down Syndrome baby, I am anti-Israel, I'm a feminist, and I hate hate hate hate people who come to work high.
Hmm.
