We all have gone shoe shopping. We all know what it's like to put on shoes that don't fit right--not too small, not too big, but those shoes that don't fit the contour of your foot. Phoenix is this shoe for me.
I feel like Phoenix isn't a fit for me, personally. And, now that I have now moved down here and I have to find a job asap, my fiscal reality has me lacing it up. I know I have only been here for a day, and I still have to get my car, so I'm going to give this shoe the benefit of the doubt. I'm going to get a job--somewhere--and I'm going to take a leap of faith until the end of the year. If I still feel this way, despite moving out, despite my job and the people I will meet, if it has failed to conform, this shoe is going back to the store.
In the meantime, I'm hoping the State Dept. get's back to me with good news. Those of you who believe: Pray.
Thanks for all your support through the college years. Now, I pray for perseverance and patience. Two things that I don't think man is inherently good at when battling emotional battles--well, at least this man.
Cheers.
