Okay so it's no secret that I worked at Sonic Drive In when I was 16 for a few years..actually worked my way up to assistant manager. To be honest it was actually rather awkward to be managing at 17 when a majority of the crew were in their 20's and 30's. I loved working there, between the amazing people and the fun atmosphere...it was just a really enjoyable place to work. Well with my new path here in Dallas I have had to make a great deal of changes. One of which has been letting go of the rather large disposable income I had become accustom to and get a normal job going. So when I was unable to come up with anything else..I went to the one place I knew could use me.
Now don't get me wrong I am still planning on starting school and getting that ball rolling as well, but right now I need to get myself stable. If I had realized that I could have paid for school with all the money I wasted on partying and drugs...I would have passed on all of it to do so. Now I am paying for all the traveling and fun I had over the past 5 years. Going from making 1000 every other day to making 1000 every other week has been a big change. For one thing I have learned to budget my money a lot better and RED BOX has become my number one friend since I rarely go out. In all it has been a rather positive change in my life. It does feel great having somewhere to go everyday...and even better to meet people outside of the gay community. It's definitely helping me to appreciate things I buy.
With every passing day I feel so happy that I am much closer to leaving KYLE FOXXX behind and becoming JAMES again. I am even in the habit of calling myself JAMES again to people I meet. Just takes some time to get past everything. Working 40 hours a week for peanuts helps one realize that there are greater things in life than what we can buy at the store.
