Learning to Fly
"Let me give you a copy of the federal law." Said Ben, the Assistant Attorney General.
"Can we enforce federal law?" asked the curious young intern.
Ben, with a cocked eyebrow and a smug look on his face, turned to the intern and said "We can enforce any law. We can fly if we have to!"
It's funny how quickly things change. Six months ago I felt melancholy and directionless. I had no job and no idea what I was going to do with myself. But, I was passionately in love, had someone to talk with, share with, play with, and make love with. Now, I've done a 180 spin. Couldn't be happier with my career path, but don't have anyone I look forward to seeing or talking to on a daily basis. Don't have that thing that makes me excited about leaving work.
I'm not sad about this, well not in a weepy, moaning way that I have been frequently in the past. And I don't have any regrets about the choices that I have made. I just feel like there's something missing. I feel so happy and confident but I dont' have anyone to share it with. It's not due to lack of opportunities. I have been "playing the field" recently, more so than any other time in my life. But none of these women seem to have that "it" that i'm looking for. I guess this time around I'm holding out, I'm holding out for someone I can really connect with, someone who make me more than who I am and vise versa.
Because I don't just want to be enjoy the things in my life, I want to fly. I'm extremely lucky to have a job where I and learn more every day and know I'm making a difference. I know that one day I will have both, but in the mean time I'm only learning to fly.
