I’m in one of my moods where I’m feeling really determined about my future. I want to have the best possible life and to attain that I have to work. There’s no alternative. It will not be handed to me and will not come easily, yet it is still possible. I have been going about life thinking about what I want but I never work on the big picture: how am I going to get it? What do I need to do in order for this dream to come true? This may be stemming from school starting again or a movie I just watched. Either way, I want to work now. I have to. If not, I won’t get anything, go anywhere, or be anyone — and that is not an option.
