Change has been the theme of the past couple of months in my life. Major change. This train has jumped it's tracks, and it's heading in yet again, a new direction.
Friday night my father propositioned me. He stated that he'd have an opening for a job within his company, paying significantly higher than I make at the bike shop now. Well this was like a gift from Heaven if you ask me... and I took it.
I gave Bill Sr. my letter of resignation, and apologized for leaving when I am. I told him my reasoning, and he responded emotionally instead of logically. Pretty much how I anticipated it. He says I'm leaving a huge void and that I'm screwing them... when in all reality I'm trying to fill the void he ripped in my heart a year ago on that faithful day. Having a father-figure tell you to go F yourself is not fun, in fact, it hurts badly.
I've adopted a new philosophy. The 90/10 principle. This principle simply states that 10% of what happens to you in your life is completely unavoidable.. some would call it fate. The remaining 90% is how you deal with the circumstances of that fateful 10%. This philosophy teaches that you can blame your problems on other people for as long as you want to, but you can't learn and grow until you come to a certain understanding. That is, that your problems are yours for a reason... because you created them.
I am ready for new things, new experiences, new people, new friends.
TWX for now, SF soon. My state of mind has changed. I'm almost at peace. 6 more work days. Wish me luck.
