Don’t be Bitter.

I learned a lesson last night- bitterness is very unappealing and unpleasant to be around. I understand it and I’m certainly not immune to it but I hereby swear to keep it to myself. Bitterness is boring, depressing and makes a bad impression on other people. Who wants to be the bitter angry guy’s friend? (Not to mention girlfriend?)

The fact is, no matter how frustrated or disillusioned I get I LOVE what I do and what I’m trying to do. If I had the tiniest desire to do anything else, I would in a heartbeat. But I can’t make myself even contemplate a career outside of writing/ making things. It’s a choice we all consciously make. A decision that being creative, that struggling and fighting to carve out a living making things we care about is more important than job security or financial stability.

No more jaded bitterness from this girl. I’m just happy to be here.
