ATX

Instead of being told "You can do anything you set your mind to!",  I was told by my parents that all of my dream professions were lofty and extravagant. Becoming a successful young lady meant having a solid career in something along the lines of insurance, law, or healthcare. So I put my big dreams to become Dallas's hottest hair stylist and acrylic artist to the side, and pursued a career within the realms in which my father also began his young adulthood. 

Being in the same industry with my father, who's worked his way from a degree-less debt collector, all the way to becoming promoted to be one of the auto loan industries leading companies Vice President, can be a lot of things. It can be a small world, in that all of the head honchos at my office know my dad, and have probably seen me in my diaper as a child. It can also be rewarding, in case I have a question on something business related and don't want to sound like a dumb ass to my peers by just asking them. But working in the same field as my dad (The Tobinator) can be very stressful in the sense that I feel as if I have a million pairs of eyes on me, at all times. The world we live in is incredibly small. I've been told my skirts too short, now it's too long, I need to wear more makeup, I need to wear less makeup.. the list goes on. Exactly how does that apply to my performance, again?

Recently I "celebrated" my 3 year anniversary at my company, where I am an auto lending analyst. 3 years of hating your job is a little too long if you ask me, so i'm taking this opportunity to peace the FUCK out and explore a new promising future in Austin, Texas. There, I will be pursuing my relationship with my amazing boyfriend Anthony, as well as begin a new career path. 

I am extremely excited about this new adventure, and hope I have all of my friends support. This will be just the refresher I need, while proving to myself that I CAN do anything I set my mind to. So, beginning December 15th, I will have the luxury of being the student, not the teacher.. being the artist, not the analyst. I'm almost 25, I'm too young to worry but also too old to not. 

I would like to invite all of my friends to help celebrate my new home in Austin, early this January! My boyfriend Anthony has been sweet enough to invite us to his home downtown, for my welcoming party/New Years celebration. So bring your stage poles and stilettos! Consider yourself booked, for new years ;) 

I love you all, and can't wait for the future! 

Also, if you know anyone who wants to lease my lovely master bedroom apartment in Irving until June, HOLLA <3
