Stressed but going well.
I broke up with my girlfriend recently and she's riding me and trying to get us back together, but I'm spending more time with my friends so the trade off is good since I like my friends more anyways.
I'm tearing my hair out about my future and don't know what to do. I'd love to get into the movie biz but that means moving to California so I'm hoping the Hollywood East thing works out, so I can move to Massachusetts. On the other hand, I've been offered a job in New York City to work for an ad agency in the creative department. Advertising was always one of my plusses in design classes. But that's way, way out of the way of where I want to take my future but I'm considering jumping on if only because I'd rather live in NYC than anywhere else in America.
For me, it's mostly a waiting game. And I fucking hate waiting like this.
Basically, I feel like your standard generation x/y who is showing puzzlement over his future. There's a lot of risk involved here. I could save money, move to California, and try my hand in getting in Hollywood, or play it "safe" and try to get a job at the Hollywood East thing, or get over my dreams and go for the big bucks.
Either way, I feel like I'm in a tight spot. Meanwhile, I feel like I lack the adequate training, so I'm really self conscious about my work despite working in Final Cut every fucking day and messing with cameras and directing and shit. So I have experience, but I feel like I still lack the foundation. I feel like I should go back for more school but the fuck is the point of that?
I feel like I'm running on and on here, especially since there are people here in this thread with REAL problems.
