How about a little backstory, or "why am I putting my life/thoughts on the internet." I am a 25 year old living in Portland, Oregon. Two years ago, I graduated college with a Bachelors in Apparel Design. I have spent the last two years unable to find a job to support myself other than retail, and have been laying on my parents couch crying.
I recently made a promise to myself to stop doing this and not waste the five years I spent in college and to actually do some work myself, since that generally is what you have to do when you pick a field like the one that I did. And since I never actually do anything unless I wrote it down or tell others, this blog is to serve that purpose. I am beyond terrified of changing my stubborn ways, and I'm sure I'm not done crying, but at least I will have a little comfort in not hiding it anymore.
