Epiphany Moment, You Guys!

Back when I was interning at a local film festival, I felt like I was the glue that held up my department together. I was amazing at my job, assisting the Programming Coordinator— I did what I was told, made snide comments, took the fall some times — so much so, that my boss would often tell me how great I was as a sidekick. I accented his Main Character status with lunch runs and driving errands.

This is a great anecdote to introduce this little epiphany I’ve had, as I’ve decided, here and now, that I will no longer be the Sidekick to someone else’s Main Character. No, I’m not talking about being insubordinate to my boss or giving the corporate “man” the middle-finger; I’m talking about living for myself, and no one else. This is really the only time I’ll be able to do such a thing, as I just turned 26, am still single, and am still free to do whatever the fuck I want.
People make new year’s resolutions, but I’m making mine two days after my birthday: I will focus on ME this year.

Now, off to write a letter to my future me. A yearly tradition!
