Announcements & Pieces of my Outfit

Life & Blog Updates

I have some MAJOR announcements, but first… I just wanted to highlight some pieces from my outfit I wore on Sunday, this Labor Day Weekend.

I GOT A NEW JOB!

I’m traded in my steel toed boots for steel heeled stilettos!

Let me be honest.

I wasn’t happy.

I wanted to cry before work.

I couldn’t be unhappy a moment longer.

I was coming in late EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

I was no longer motivated.

This is why I had to lay off the blog for awhile.  I had too much mental turmoil going on in my personal life.  I just could not fathom going to my previous place of employment one more dayum day. There were seriously days where I just wanted to say, “Fuck it! I’m quitting. I’ll figure it out later.”  Had I had more than one guaranteed source of income (such as being married) I would have chunked the deuces.

I just hated going to work.

Every morning I would hear Steve Job’s voice in my head saying, “I wake up every day and ask myself if today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today? And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.”

Since I worked 9-12 hours a day I couldn’t focus on the blog, search for a job, develop my photography business, pick up additional projects, AND have a personal life. Something had to give. Honestly, I would have sacrificed my personal life, but my girl was getting married and I had so many events that involved hanging out with her before she headed to India. I wasn’t going to put the business on the backburner. So there you have it people, it had to be the blog.

My numbers had been declining dramatically the more unhappy I was becoming and I’ll be honest, it did bother me. I was skipping days, my content was not where I wanted to be, and my focus was shifting because I just had so much on my mind all the time.

I just really needed to focus on my life.

To top it all off, I was embarrassingly underpaid for the amount of work that I did.

I’m sure most of you know that being underpaid will affect every faucet of your life. I felt like my business couldn’t grow without making more money. I couldn’t travel because of money. Most of all, I just hated not being able to take my friends out for their birthdays because of money. I know that’s trivial, but my friends mean more than the world to me and they are always looking out for me.  The fact that I couldn’t even imagine doing that for them pissed me off.

It was time for a change.

Every night I applied for jobs.

Every day I spoke to different HR departments and recruiters.

Yes, I did turn down a number of jobs because I’m very well aware of my value and I wasn’t going to be underpaid for my skill set.

I stuck to it.

I don’t regret a thing I did.

Soon I found a good job.

A very good job. One where I get to dress up.

*shreeks in excitement*

I’m finally happy and super relaxed.

Have a blessed week.

Love, Korin
