    I confess, when MFP sends that passive aggressive “clearly this isn’t helping and you don’t want us around any more so we’ll stop bugging you” notification I get slightly turned on.

    IC that I am terrified of going full-time with any small time business venture in this country because independent businesses get taxed a ton compared to having a regular 9-5 at a company. I'm also terrified that because of this, I will never be able to achieve my dream of selling art and other handmade goods that make others happy because I can't be that burden to my family.

    IE. I don't want to owe so much money to the IRS that we end up homeless or in severe debt.

    Don't give up your dreams. Have you thought about doing it part-time until you can gauge if you can make a full of it and it be sustainable? Just try for a little while by saving up enough at your current job and take a four month vacation/leave of absence if possible and give your venture a try, you should be able to figure out if this is something that would work full time during this period.

    Nothing is promised, but at least you won't always be wondering where you would have been had you decided to live your dream.

    IC, I am scared shitless about my new position at work. I almost feel like a fraud despite assurances from above that I’ll be fine :|

    Im starting to think coffee is getting the better of me. I may have to quit drinking it. My addictive personality takes *kitten* to the limits.

    IC, I use work and helping others to compensate for some of the negative things I am.

    IC: While I know the things I stand for or what things I'm passionate about I still feel like I don't know who I am, at least not all of the time.

    Some days are like dark long winding hallways with no flashlight.

    So far 2/3 of my exs have met their significant others directly after breaking up with me, so statistically, if you wanna meet your future wife, you should date me first. Meanwhile I'll be sitting here wondering what the *kitten* I did wrong since none of them have had the balls to give me a reason.

    I bake when I'm annoyed and when I need a distraction from the world, mostly people.

    I made 68 lemon shortbread cookies tonight.

    We need to be neighbors. I love anything lemon!

    Guuurl... We need to talk.

    I am all *kitten* up, I know...

    I think there is a song out about this very thing by Dua Lipa... It is all a process.

    I could have written this myself... "Coffee" has been a variety of other things as well throughout my vida.
