Not the left track
Well, it seems to be the day for happy posts.
Last night I had a very good conversation with Joseph. He's wonderful for these sorts of conversations, because we're both very analytical, but come from very different perspectives. He's sometimes quite good at illuminating the dark corners of my life that I've written off to failure and letting me see what's really there. We haven't always been terribly close, but we have known each other quite some time and gotten to watch our respective progress. And the fact that I have indeed made progress is something I really need to keep in mind. Some things are hard to quantify and therefore any progress made is easy to overlook. The fact that I don't have the job of my dreams and haven't found the man of my dreams or any of that nonsense doesn't mean anything right now. I'm young, I have to remember to be patient. All of those things will come in their own time, when I've gone through the proper steps to find them. Rushing headlong down the wrong path because the other seemed too slow and tedious will only delay things in the end. Fortunately, I've come to know some very good people who know exactly what I need right now, whether they realize it or not, and they help keep me on the right track.
