I just dropped whatever it is that I don't need, even when I want it.
My work, a public school teacher, is enough to give me livelihood, and time for relaxation (since I developed automated systems to make our grading easier, and I don't run after promotions unlike most of my co-workers).
'Sides, promotions and recognition lands me in front of my co-teachers' crosshairs. I dun wanna live in constant stress trying to watch my ass for possible betrayals, hence I don't aspire higher positions.
Heck, but yeah, I still can't escape jealous scrutiny sometimes.
But, I wish architects make as much money as other decent jobholder. It would be such a problem if I fight to pursue architecture and then my Parents see that I'm not making as much as my brother lol
Yeah, greed is something I don't wanna bring in my workplace. And while I do envy some of my co-workers at times, I use that to improve my work instead of pulling them down.
Architecture is actually my dream and It's NOT forced (I wish it was). My parents don’t want me to pursue architecture (idk why). But, I'm working towards becoming an architect.
This is close to my real name, which is Eduardo and Españo. No worries, I haven't revealed my entire name, though I'm not really concerned about it. Lol
@Nevafrost tried to drop my pen name when I stopped writing and drawing last time.
But, here I am, joking myself that I can stop something I love and suffer for. I just don't look at my stories' dismal statistics so I won't get discouraged.
