Flavor of Iron
Wow, it's been ten weeks since I've last updated my journal.
One would think that nothing has happened since then, but one would be wrong. The truth is that much has taken place. For starters, I finally obtained my degree. The diploma arrived at my house about two weeks ago. Furthermore, I have interviewed for a position doing in-home therapy which is only waiting for my license to come through. Hopefully that will arrive within the next few weeks.
It's unusual for me to feel a sense of achievement as my whole life I've kind of hopped from place to place with what I consider little effort, but the truth is that I have worked my ass off trying to obtain the little recognition that I have so far.
As people we like to divide the world into finite categories. We like to say that there are those who do and those who wait, those who lead and those who follow, those who take and those who lose... I like to think of our world as those who say and those who listen. In a way I figure we are all a bit of one or the other, we all fall into those categories at some point or another in our lives. However, to me, the truth is that we all have a tendency to follow a certain path which we find comfortable, and personally I am one of those who listen. That's just who I am, and I am pleased to be that person.
I suppose it is my desire to define myself today, and perhaps tomorrow I will find another meaning for my life, but for now I am a listener.
