I too have a day job...(sort of)

Many people will ask me if I have a "day job" and the answer is yes, I do. Why? Most of it has to do with my parents because I promised my Mum before she died that before I pursued anything in the entertainment industry, I would at least earned some sort of training (honestly, she didn't care what it was as long as it was something I enjoyed and paid me well enough). So, this is why I now work as a nurse and not only that I love helping people and honestly think that just being caring and nurturing is second nature to me and honestly, I truly love it more than anything. I do work as a hospice nurse however and those days can be very difficult to handle especially when see that person every single day and then suddenly he or she may be gone. It is also one reason I try to make people laugh and smile as much as possible because with my experiences that may be the only kindness that person will know in the last moments of his or her life. So yes, I promised both of my parents before they died I would finish up with school and admittedly it is difficult being so young and having to deal with all of what I see at work and maybe this is why I love performing because it helps give me an outlet in a creative way to deal with everything we see at work. 
 Just recently, lost a patient with whom I became close and it was difficult and going to be honest heartbreaking. Life is so precious and just want to make certain in some small way that everyone feels loved...people deserve that.


but this song reminds me of the patient I became close to and think of them whenever I hear 
it.
