  • ...the fear...

    it's from an episode in friends.  Chandler and Joey tell Rachel to quit her job even though she doesn't have another job.  It is said that she needed the "fear" to motivate her to get a new job.

    Although it's highly unlikely that there would be some random sitting at a cafe willing to hire you, I think it is worth mentioning that "the fear" is sometimes a good motivator.  However, "the fear" can also stop you from pursuing your dreams.  

    And I guess the issue is that I'm not racking in the dough.  I couldn't support you.  I could barely support myself, let alone anyone else. 

    After working part time, min wage, and spending barely any money, I've managed to actually save a small amount of money.  I'll have to start paying osap soon though.  I guess it's easier to save money when I'm living at home and my expenses are low.  The drawback is that I have to help my parents whenever.  If I do the math, in the year I've worked at my part time job, I've worked over 1365 hours.  

    Sure, the uncertainty is scary, but it's also okay to be scared.  We all need to do what we need to do in order to move forward, reach our goals, or feel satisfied with our achievements.  

    mmm.....
