Wanting to move to the big city with glitzy dreams in her eyes, she hoped she'd be a star some day.
She was envious of her classmate who had made a similar move.
One day, she just decided to run away and make it big, so, she dropped out of college.
In the big city though, reality hit...and hit hard; she was homeless and had no money, surviving became a challenge.
She regretted her choice, but, didn't have the courage to face her folks back home.
To make ends meet, she started standing behind counter of a souvenir shop.
The notion that you can have anything as long as you really, really want it is a stupid and pernicious dream
ReplyDeleteI hope she finds the courage and go back home!
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling things will work out well for this lady - she took a chance and was willing to leave security - that hints at her grit and strength - and maybe good things will come from working at this humble place.
ReplyDeleteNandini, she's on one of those learning adventures :) Now, she may realize she enjoys selling souvenirs. Or she realizes she hates selling them. Either way will lead onto the next adventure. Good story!
ReplyDeleteWorking her way to the top I hope.
ReplyDeleteI hope her life improves and she is satisfied with the outcome
ReplyDeleteone has to start somewhere. all it takes is a positive mental attitude to keep on going.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to reality, young lady. Hopefully, she will keep trying.
ReplyDeleteI'm still keeping my fingers she makes it as an actress.
ReplyDeleteNo shame in shop work. Hope she got it together over the next months.
ReplyDeleteI hope she survives, but at the end of the day she finds the courage to go back home. It is a sad but often true tale.
ReplyDeleteOops! It's Brenda...
DeleteCreative take on the prompt. Ending up working in a shop isn’t so bad, she’ll make it fine. - thisobsurelife (Michele)
ReplyDeleteAll things considered, it could've turned out a lot worse.
