28. How long would you wait for the one you love? A year? Fifteen years? Forever? Could you honestly be loyal to an unfulfilled love?
“I don’t think about love, really. I don’t honestly think I believe in it - or maybe I’m just jaded because everyone else is so focused on it that it makes them stupid, and then it ultimately backfires on them. So…likely forever. I’m not looking for love, but if that just right someone came along? Maybe. Maybe. But I don’t believe in soulmates. I don’t believe in love at first sight. I believe in the visceral - in the here and now. I believe in hard work, and self-sufficiency. Confidence. Power. Seizing the day - and whatever else you want. It’s a high bar to meet, ‘love.’ If that’s even what it is - I wouldn’t know, really. As for being faithful? Well. If I’m not with someone because I give a shit about them…well, yeah. I’d probably use them however I saw fit, and leave them behind because they were unworthy. Predator and prey, and all.”
Warden, Shale, and Aveline (because I'm struggling with mine right now ;P)
heeeeeey :DDDDD
Warden: Have you ever been given an important task you thought was too much for you?
yeah many times, and some i handled okay, because there were people who helped my along the way, but right now i’m having a difficult time, like i know i can handle them but i’m just like fuck it i don’t care that much, i guess i’m more of a group people when it comes to work?
Shale: What is your earliest memory?
ohhh i ask myself this sometimes, the one i’m pretty sure is my own memory instead of something my parents told me was when i was about 5 or 6, in elementary school, playing with some kids during breaks
Aveline: Career plans?
heh you picked the wrong person to ask, or maybe the wrong timing? we can struggle together Orz long story ahead
i really hit the wall, career-wise, this past year, and these past 6 months were really hard. i thought i was lucky that i found something i liked for a couple of years after graduating college, which is being a fiction editor (mostly translatoin works). but i’ve switched companies pretty much every year, and at the third job, they fired me (or they said i didn’t past their probation, which lasted six months), this job was already stressing me out more than my previous two jobs, then this shit happened. i couldn’t find jobs that i wanted to do for a few months, i took some freelancing jobs, but mostly my parents supported my financially. and then i finally got a job that was a little different, it’s a children’s books editor this time, buuuuuut yeeeeaaahhh it hasn’t been working out as well as i’d hoped
i guess what i’ve learned so far is what i really want out of working? like, i need money, but not as much as some people do; i need stability, but i can’t stand staying in a company i don’t like. and i still have some more to figure out, but i guess it’s not too late, since i’m still in my twenties? XD
if you’re just graduating tho, i’d say a lot of times you could just ignore what the requirements they put down (eg, you need to have 3 yrs experience in this field etc), and just send your resume to them. and try to figure out what kind of person you are? some of my friends can stand spending a third of their lives on jobs they hate, as long as they get paid well, but that’s not for me at all.
