THROWING IN THE TOWEL  
Today I have made either the best decision of my career or the worst. I quit the agency, my agent and I'm officially unemployed for the 1st time in 6 years. It happened about 30 minutes ago and I'm already having doubts whether or not I did the right thing. I can still model abroad, since it works different there than Japan and I have a Diesel contract but in theory I still have to work for the agency until January, so I just broke contract and I might have to pay a massive fine. ;_; Now, tomorrow I need to call my lawyer and my accountant and see what's going to happen.

SIIIIIIIIIIGH! (‾᷄⌂‾᷅) It had to be done though. They booked me for a few jobs in the beginning of next month, during training camp and the tournament. If I miss the tournament, Johoga might cut my scholarship, and I don't want to miss it to begin with, and if don't go to the job the agency would drop me anyway and my name would be ruined. Besides they've been complaining I've been too indiscreet about my private life when a picture of me being too handsy with a guy during the halloween party showed up. I'm fed up with this already

My therapist said I should weigh my priorities because I simply can't do everything I want all the time without ending up overwhelmed. Basketball is more important, so... that's that.

Wow. You ok? Need anything?

For what it's worth, I think you did the right thing.

I'm good~ For now anyway. Thank you Ryo <3 Actually fed up cos they were bitching about a picture someone took of you and I at the halloween party. You being gay and me having my hands on you was apparently too 'affectionate', as they said.

You do? I hope so.

It was.... :( I don't like making bug decisions.

I'm waiting for a phone call, but I might want to come .... and maybe not talk about it ;)

Well it sounds like you've been thinking about it for a while. Good things will come out of it, you just need to give yourself some time to adjust to the change.

No worries. We don't have to talk.

Great job. Big decisions are tough to make, but gotta keep moving on, eh? It's good that you know what to prioritise.

I don't usually know how to prioritise~ I'm trying to learn.... needed a shrink for that ;)

Your time and sanity don't have a dollar amount, Kise-kun. If you didn't do it now, wouldn't you always wonder what you were capable of with the right bandwidth?

As for the fine, why not auction off a few items of yours (perhaps with autograph)? If your contract doesn't allow that, a third party such as myself could do it for you. For someone in your status, there are plenty more creative moneymaking solutions.

I'm sure. I made up my mind long ago that I would be a professional basketball player, so I'm not going to look back and regret not doing what I wanted because of money.

Awww you are so smart <3~ I never thought about that! Besides, I have a bunch of designer clothes as well. I'll ask my lawyer about it, maybe it's not a problem if I break the contract or we can come to an agreement about those things.

Good man.

Good. Those designer clothes will be worth more because you wore them. Autographed prints and such would add up as well. You have more tools at your disposal than you think.

If that were true you would have enough employment to pay for your own education.

It's not really an age thing, more like having to deal with contracts I don't understand and money.

I wouldn't think about it so much~ You'll still have some opportunities and maybe after 6 years you might actually need a break from it. Hopefully you can get things settled with your agency. >_<

If your priorities lay elsewhere, like basketball then you're making a good choice. ^_^ Especially if it gives you a a new found freedom and money comes and goes. I'm sure you can find something to do if you ever need the money.

And we should hang out~ I have a few things to share.

I do worry cos my lawyer had a mini fit when he called. He said I should have called him before quitting. :/

Sure~ Lunch tuesday?

I hope things pick up for you once everything is settled, Kise. I think your therapist is right. It's good that you made a decision if you think it will your better your life over all.
