As I ponder what topic to broach this time, I can only seem to be concerned with who I was and what I thought in high school. Considering how I find life to be a lot more enjoyable currently than back then, it is rather laughable that I keep returning to such an unfulfilled time of my life. There was a time back then where my peers and I found a great deal of people to be sell-outs despite a distinct lack of knowing what a sell out was.
About a year ago I was fulfilling my dream job as a stand in. I was doing what I wanted. Currently, I am working a less than stellar retail job to pay the bills and receive health insurance while working my dream job on the side. Of course, this leaves little time for the good parts of life (i.e. gaming, writing, love, friends, websites that you look at and not tell people about, television, etc.). In retrospect, I am selling out a bit in an effort to keep myself healthy, but I realize is that, unlike before, my sense of immediacy isn't geared towards everything. As I grew older, I learned how to be patient and play the long game. Sure, there are things I absolutely need right now, but that doesn't mean I'm sacrificing anything until I get to my goal. Far from it. I'm merely biding my time until this train gets further on down the line.
Just Remember: Where we are not isn't our last stop. We all have a way to go. We will get there in time. Some of us may satellite before then and some of us may make a straight dash for it, but we will get there.
