I Am Alive.

I cannot, have not, and will not be a slave to any one man, company, or idea that is not my own. I will work hard for all the things I achieve in my lifetime and will do so by my own means, sheer will, and determination with a dash of unending persistence.

There are many nice things I want and many things I wish to accomplish. But jobs should be a means of providing the goods to fulfill the dreams your heart desires. Not for you to live your life for it. Especially if you weren't the one who created the job in the first place out of your own love and passion for it. If a company measles its way into my life to steal me from it, I will say goodbye forever and dare I say they will lose a very valuable employee.

I will work hard for anyone and anything out of respect and love for what I am doing. If you force me to do something, you will see me spit back your way with little attempt from me to even try. I will not be controlled. Forced. Bullied. Or swindled. I am me. I am free. I am alive. And no one will ever take that from me.
