Well well, good bye February! I don't know where you went =S.
It's been sometime since I stopped for a bit and surveyed where I am right now. Well, where am I? Work has gone through highs and troughs and I don't know what's next but if anything I am pleased to discover that I can now confront it with a bit more tools in mind. It's fine, everything will be ok. It always is.
Someone I had a discussion with recently seemed to indicate that he was at a bit of a dead end. Partially more optimistic me 3 years ago would have told him to smash through that wall and 'do what you want' because you'll never forgive yourself otherwise. But 3 years on, all I could think of was, life isn't fair, and sometimes it never will be, make the most of what you have and find your own spark. At the end of the day, no one is going to tell you what next, once off the leash of school you're walking on a tightrope that is of your own making. Unfortunately these tightropes seem to have created from plans made when you hadn't even climbed up the ladder yet.
So what do you do? Life is fleeting, it really is, and the more someone believes that they are done with life, the angrier I get. No, you're not, because there are so many more goals and things and people in this world to meet if you gave yourself the chance to. Everyone is a novice in something, the most brilliant professor is probably a lousy sportsman, cannot dance, or cannot cook, or cannot do a multitude of anything else you can think of in this world. Sample everything, never say no. That's what I wanted to tell him. But reality still holds you down, you can't do some things without money and support, and that is the unfortunate truth of life.
Which pool are you swimming in, at the end of the day? What happens when your good isn't good enough?
