The Scratchy Mess of Desperation

It is amazing the tales you will tell yourself when you are desperate. Come to think of it, "tale" is maybe too tame of a word. Yesterday, the wool I had pulled over my eyes about my job for the past several months was finally and fully yanked off. True, the moths had been eating away at it and the truth had begun to be evident. But the feeling of being free of the itchy, uncomfortable mess was something akin to walking into an air-conditioned room after taking a long jog in July in the hot, humid south.

The details are not particularly relevant. But the lesson learned is. Be passionate about what you do and it doesn't matter how hard you have to work. Passion carries you through the hard work and even gives your work a life of its own. So I am resolved to move forward in which ever direction I go with my career and do it with passion.
