Hi, my name is Alexandra Ioana and first of all, I’m a HUMAN.
For many years in a row I identified myself without occupation. I have built up a lot of frustrations because of this.
I’m wondering, who or what gives us an occupation, after all?! And why is it so important for society to have a basic job? Why i can’t say I’m a Woman and I spend my time working on myself, my personality, on the challenges that life gives me and doing what I enjoy?! Why does the label of having a job give us a meaning in this world?
A few years ago I met up with my former high school classmates. One of them asked me: And you, Bica, what have you done with your life? I got stuck, I got scared, I got ashamed. I had no job, no children, not even a family. But until then I knew I lived, enjoyed life, breathe and maybe i have fight through life or I’ve done what my soul or my mind told me.
You know what’s funny? Even now, after all these years, I don’t have a family, a child, and I don’t want to identify myself with a job – which I could say I have now. I want to identify myself as being a HUMAN, a Woman who loves what she does.
I wonder when status and job will no longer matter so much in shaping our relationships?
Hello, my name is Alexandra Ioana and first of all I am a HUMAN who likes to cut gems.
