I try not to complain too much on this little blog, but I guess I just need to get this out.
Since 2004, my life has been in limbo. Yeah, I got my J.D. and all that, but I haven't worked. Not anything more than a summer legal job. I miss having an income, and I miss the power that comes with that.
I miss being able to dream about buying myself things again. I miss using my credit cards. I haven't used my own credit since 2004! I used to be able to get myself presents and know that I could pay off the debt. I miss buying presents for my Momma. I miss being able to give gifts to friends and family.
I mean, I bought my own diamond earrings. I bought Momma a gorgeous pearl ring. Now I have to ask her for rent money.
I really hope I passed the bar. I hope that once I do, I can find a decent job. Because once I do, I'm going to buy myself a diamond ring.
This is just exhausting. Thanks for listening.

- When I'm good, I'm really, really good. When I'm bad, I'm funny. PS - I always have a song in my head, and I'm willing to share, if only to escape the song. I'm trying to figure out how to describe myself. It really isn't that easy.

Wow. um, you read my mind (or my blog!) I can definitely relate to your post!!! (see mine from today) I really hope, too, that you pass and that you have an easier time with the legal job market than I am! Having to rely on others really really really sucks. My heart echoes your sentiments about being able to buy gifts for others. My mom's birthday is coming up and I hate that I will have to ask my bf for the money to buy her a gift, or WORSE ask *her* for money so I can return it to her in gift-form. I'm sending good thoughts your way and hoping that your results are good and that a job soon follows!!
