What am I

Someone asked me today what it is that i did for a living before becoming disabled. And my answer always comes out as my lat job- a store director with a major convenience store. But that answer made no sense in the conversion we were having! I guess i should tell people I was an accountant. My degree is in accounting and business, my longest job was as a tax accountant.
But it got me thinking. If I had to list every field I have worked in, I'd have a pretty crazy looking resume!  Fast food, retail, construction and maintenance, house keeping to escorting. Online sales, management, business owner, nurses assistant and teacher, landscaper, bar tender and nanny. Even the things I'm not proud to say I've done- drug dealer and drug runner, porn producer. Wow! I can seriously say I've done a little of everything! I've done so much more than even i could list. And of course if I were to include life experiences in to my ball of knowledge. .. I could probably have a book for a resume!
It bothers me that people see me as a home maker and assume that's what my life has been. I graduated college with a 3.9 and I was tutoring high school seniors in math when i was in 8 th grade. I study and research because i love to learn new things. I get that from my dad... He has like 6 degrees just because he loves to expand his knowledge. People argue with me thinking I'm uneducated white trash. I won't argue unless i have facts to back me up. I don't like being treated as if I'm dumb, because I'm not. I don't like being treated like I wouldn't understand- because chances are I do!
I've been abused, I've been in prison. I've been shot at and kidnapped. I've been divorced, I'm a mother. I've had to give a child up for adoption and i had to have an abortion. I have a chronic illness and a biological family that is so beyond messed up. I've had my issues with drugs, and bad relationships. I've lived on the streets and I've owned my own home.
I really am just like you, different experiences but still like you all the same. Our lives have had ups and downs, we do what we think is best. We've all had more than one job, one relationship. What makes you better than me? Nothing! But I'd it makes you feel better to believe you are- then so be it, i feel sorry for people line that. I don't need to be better than anyone to be happy, i create my happiness. Seeing those i care about being happy and healthy is what makes me feel good.
Line the blog title says- no regrets! I have lived this life and had these experiences for a reason!
Love and light to you all!
