BioI'm 29. I'm a tenuously employed litigation tech for a worldwide law firm. I'm bitterly sarcastic and unfriendly. And I couldn't save the world.
My only aspiration in life is to not die. I like to set the bar high.
------
"What are you most scared of?"
A standard, mediocre existence. I'm scared of spending my life in an unfulfilling career, withering for decades under fluorescent lights, scared of never taking a risk to do something I truly love because of my ingrained need to be financially stable.
I'm scared of being rejected by that girl I've always had my eye on, that one that may be just a little too cute for me. And even though we exchange glances, I never have the balls to talk to her, preferring to keep my precious ego out of harm's way, never knowing what might have been.
But most of all, I'm afraid of lying in bed one night years from now, in the denouement of my life, racked with regret, thinking of all the things I always wanted to do yet never did and will never have the chance to.
It's that one moment when you truly realize that you've wasted your one life to live and you can never have it back that absolutely scares the shit out of me.
And Liza Manelli. She scares me.
