Alte Gedanken

Anbei ein paar aeltere Gedanken zum Thema Prioritaeten. Gut es ist auf Englisch aber schliesslich wechselt auch meine Hauptsprache nach Standort.

Do you have your priorities set straight? I mean are you really and deeply convinced that what you are working for / dreaming for is cut out for you? The last couple of days got me thinking about that and scarily enough I found myself facing an uncertainty that was not apparent before.

Well, there was no special reason out of the ordinary. My current working agreement is running out the middle of September and with a two-month notice, I just had to start thinking about my plans – I guess. Actually, it was during lunch when Nat expressed her twisted desire to both leave the company and to stay. On the one hand, she wants to go because things are just crazy but on the other hand she doesn’t know what else is out there. Maybe you go off working for another company and find yourself in more problems than you are already at. Moreover, staying longer at one place also comes along with salary increases and you might not get the same money elsewhere. So she concluded to leave after the end of her contract unless she wouldn’t have another job. But thinking in-depth about it, she said that most probably she would still stay. Well, her committeemen to priorities are rather weak as there only is one true priority for her which is finding a rich husband. Guess that’s harder than it sounds. She is in her early thirties and honestly really good-looking. But she hasn’t found the right guy yet.
Her last relationship just reflected our company – crazy and full of changes everyday! Not that either of them would have cheated on each other – but not picking up a Big Tasty from Mac Donald’s was definitely a serious issue to fight about.
Ok back to priorities. I am honestly confused of what my priorities are. I think that ain’t easy for women nowadays. We ( I ) want to be so much. I want to be a perfect worker, a perfect friend, a perfect daughter, a perfect sister, a perfect wife, and apart from all that I want to have time for myself. Okay I obviously need a 50 hours day – which is not possible either. So what should it be? Can you have it all? I believe that this question is neither new nor uncommon. Most women in industrialized countries have to face it. Aren’t you just sick of it? It seems easier in countries where strong gender roles still apply? But for us? I want to have my own money and buy my own things, but I want to be spoiled and relaxed as well. Not working actually doesn’t sound that bad if in conjunction to a little house, dog, and a child – doesn’t it? But not working & not knowing what will happen isn’t that much fun. So, eventually there is a choice to make even if it is just temporarily but you have to have one single priority and everything else comes after that."

Abschliessend, wuerde ich das Ganze gerne mit einem Song der immer die Grundstimmung meines Texts wiedergibt. Ich denke das Musik manchmal besser die Gefuehle zusammen fassen kann. Gut, hier nun ist mein Mood-song:

' Your winter" Sister Hazel.
