Stealing My Essence

Each day I work in corporate America I feel a little part of myself slip away.  I never thought I would be doing something I was not passionate about.  It’s funny that I can’t be the person I want to be.  I never thought I would live my life this way and feel so unfulfilled.

I want to get pink and blue highlights and wear anything I fancy.  I’m sick of being a drone and feeling like I am one of the lucky ones because I still have a job.  It is just that.  A job.  I shouldn’t feel like I have to conform to some white bread standard.  I want to have fun and laugh and have meaning.  I miss talking to people who have creativity and inspiration oozing from their pores.  I hate being “ma’am” when I venture to the mall after work.  Maybe I’m feeling old, want to recapture that feeling of youth.  I hope I’m just ready for change.
