Whether You're Looking To Dive Into A Career, Or Venture Off Into Being An Entrepreneur, It's Time To Stop Being The Bare Minimum.In the introductory post, "A Preface To Being A Year Removed From Corporate America", I made a pretty strong statement that I want to revisit. "We go through about 20 years of our lives being either handed a schedule or given the stencil of a schedule."The first thing I want to point out is that the purpose of my Corporate American Horror Story tweets is not to tell you how God-awful working in corporate America is. I don't want to remotely sell you the idea that I'm being a revolutionary who wants you to sink the corporate ship by walking out of the office on a random Monday. Instead, I'd like to encourage you to first, change how you think of yourself in the place and space that you occupy. Second, I'd like to let you know that our generation (specifically Millennials) takes too much time suffering in certain situations. So be blessed, or take in a good lesson.

These Are the Things Your Nightmares Are Truly Made Of.
It's crazy that as I look back on the last year, I hardly noticed until a recent conversation, that I haven't had a corporate 9 to 5 job since August 5th of 2016. Most people's first reaction to hearing that is to congratulate me. In fact, among peers that's always the first reaction I get. And then I dive in more into why people actually shouldn't rush to following up with, "Everyone is trying to be like you" or "Man, that's really goals". Sure, I know everyone wants to break the cycle of monotonous working until you're 65, but the truth is, we're simply not taught how to break that cycle, and therefore, tumble into very painful trial and error that most people don't ever survive. Am I lucky? No, I am a product of more errors than trials.
To understand how I've managed to get through the past year, I have to take you back to 2014. When I could already tell that post-graduate life, and entering the work force was nowhere near as cool, fun, and educational as we all had thought it was.
Originally, I imagined that turning 25 would be a challenge because of the good ol' saying from Kanye West: "We weren't s'posed to make it past 25, jokes on you, we still alive". I'll say this much, though, I barely survived 25. I mean, I lived to see another two years, but the struggling transition into what I call Second Puberty was rough. In addition to that increasing struggle, I began to feel as though the molding of The Man was void of a father figure. In fact, more than ever, I felt as though that void could finally be closed forever.
