When I was a little girl, I had such big dreams. I wanted to be an artist, an architect, and of course a rock star. I wanted to grow up and get married and have a family, though I never really thought of myself having three kids. I always thought I would go to college and have a career, and that my life would be just peachy.
My Dad made the comment to a friend the other day about how I spent all this time and money going to school, just to turn around and work in a liquor store. Hearing that he would say that - hurt. Nope, it's not my dream occupation, and nope, it's not something I plan to do forever. BUT it is what was available in the right now. I took the job because I needed to do something NOW for the good of my family. To be honest, I really like my job too. Yes, it's sad at times, but it's not a bad job. I enjoy the folks I work with, and the only part of my body that hurts at the end of the day are my feet. I am not ashamed of any job that puts food in the bellies of my children. If I would have chosen to stay home and do nothing at all - then I would have been ashamed....

Right on - you're helping your family. It's just a way from A to B. Proud of you.
Love,
B.
You have NOTHING to be ashamed of. There are people out there with Master Degrees who get out of college and have to work at McDonalds until something comes up! There is NO shame in any work.
It was probably a careless remark made, without thinking. I have to say this. I as your "friend" would NEVER have repeated that back to you. I am sorry your friend felt the need to run to you and tell you what was said. In my opinion, that was not very nice..and only hurtful. Your a very good person Ms Becky, stop allowing people to rain on your parade.
As your friend I never meant to hurt you nor rain on your parade. I guess I should just keep my mouth shut even when I think 'I shouldn`t.....I would have wanted to know and I will Never base my feelings of what I feel I would want to know and expect others to feel the same! I`m more sorry than words could ever say!
Who is "no one" & why did they tell u that?
There are some things a person doesn't need to hear.
What purpose is there to sharing that hurtful info with you?
I am sure you dad didn't mean to hurt you. You are his little girl & we know how much he loves you & is very proud of you.
As far as your job....hey....you are keeping your family afloat & that is fucking awesome. You know how many people would just on their asses & wait for handouts?
You rawk Rebeeca Bridges & I agree wholeheartedly with Spicy. Stop letting mean people rain on your parade!!!
( now if only I could take my own damn advice)
I love u friend.
More than you could ever know.
Sometimes people just don't understand how deeply words can hurt...
