This is weird to put out there but I have been fired from a few jobs. One of them really made me pissed and it was Whole Foods. I had a hard time dealing with it but after a few days of freaking out I realized that it was really dumb. It was a dumb thing to have happen and a dumb reason to fire someone. See they got mad over a yelp review and it made our coffee station look bad. The thing is, I was busy when this guy came up and he got upset because I couldn’t get to him fast enough. I was the only one manning two stations in this area and I had to make not only coffees but also juices/smoothies. It was ridiculous and people that came into this store were crazy. I have all kinds of stories to share but that’s for another time. 

So because of this crazy realization of how stupid this was I decided to start this blog and start pursuing my real dream. What I like to tell people is that I got tired of having a 9-5 job that gets to say how much I am worth just by meeting me. By looks. By mannerisms, by words on a page. I work really hard and a lot of the time I didn’t get rewarded in any way. Because of this experience with Whole Foods and the realization of how much I am worth to them I came to the decision to make my own price tag and to get that started I began writing this blog. I want to do so much more, I want to experience so much more, I want to share what I learn and see with you all. In the process I want to make my own worth and I want to name my own price tag. 

Sometimes we have to go through hard times to get to an end result. for me I didn’t think I would need that push until it had already happened. Yes, getting fired sucked but, that is the reality. I needed something to push me over the edge and that got to me and I am very thankful for it. Without that push I wouldn’t be here, I wouldn’t be making art, I wouldn’t be making this decisions I am. 

To become better we have to lean hard lessons.
