Aprilisms.

I've been gone for quite some time, although I've been reading blogs silently (meaning, I don't exactly leave a comment).

In such amount of time, so much has happened. Some things are worth blogging, some aren't.

Well, over the weekend, I got something that's worth blogging for.

I quit my job as a barista at Starbucks.

It was a hard decision to make but at some point in our lives, we have to stand up for ourselves and let people know that we are not putting up with anything less than we deserve.I really love being a barista. It was a humbling experience and it was a great adventure. It helped me a lot and as much as it did, I also know that I don't owe anybody anything.

It just simply has to end. No more unnecessary stress. No more double standards. All of which I took for a year, that's how much I love what I was doing but then I cannot simply allow a person to have that control all over me, nor to give an implification that I'm a liar.

What's funny is that even as I'm walking out the door, people still tend to blame me, calling it a selfish action. But then, who really cares? It's over. They can all suck it, for all I care.

And there quite a few casualties, there was a friendship that's been shattered and a reputation getting slandered.

Just as I had choice to walk away, they have the choice to put their foot down and say "No".

In the end, it's all up to you to get over it or put up with it.
