Chasing Dreams

So I am working on chasing a dream and let me tell you, it's not easy.
The first half of the summer I spent sending out resumes to companies and after not hearing back from just about all of them, I guess I got discouraged. The only company that seemed to do anything with me was Disney.
I finally got notification that I am now considered seasonal at WDW. I am really excited about this. I even went and found a roommate and a possible apartment. I want to move down there so I can attend the leadership sessions and everything that they have. I really want to go somewhere with them because I love the Company. I had a great experience with it. I also love doing things for other people and this is the PERFECT way to do something that I love!

My dad and I got into a screaming match tonight because he doesn't think I am trying to find a job. And while I am not trying very hard, I am still trying. But I am not him. I don't want to be a workaholic and not spend time with my family or the people that I love. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my dad, but he just pushes the wrong buttons. I know he loves me and wants to succeed and wants me to live comfortably. I just want to do all of that on my terms and my time. I know I will have to pay for insurance and medicines and all that, but I can do it. I'll find a way to do it. That's just the kind of person I am. I just can't do what I want to do living with my parents, working in a diner, or even living in PA. I mean really, I would have to either go to Cali to pursue camera work or NYC (as much as I love that place I could never live there) to find something. I don't know. I just need to be where my creative soul can flourish. I love being creative but I feel so restricted here. I need more. As much as I LOVE this place and I hate to leave it (hence my hesitation to follow my dream), I know I have to do it. It's really really really scary. Not to mention really really really hard. I get emotional thinking about it. But I'm growing up and my family will always be here.

Do here's to chasing dreams. It's going to be rough, but I'll do it! I need to do it and most importantly, I WANT to do it.
