Happiness is an interesting condition. There are things in my life - a great many things, as a matter of fact - with which I should be happy. But dissatisfaction seems to plague me ( Read more... )

Instead of posting what I was going to, I am just going to say that I love you, no matter what. And if you want it you can have a copy, because I am saving it. I want to thank you, because in what was going to be my response to this, I realized several things. (That I am not going to share here).

The only thing I am going to say here is that: Only YOU KNOW what you want. What can make you happy. And, if you don't know, then FIGURE it out, and fight for it with more than everything you have. Otherwise anything and everything else you will ever accomplish wont matter at all. If you don't then it's not that important to you. If it is something that you need help with ask, the people who really love you will help you no matter what.

Have I ever told that, despite whatever problems and faults you may have. You have always been the kind of person I want to be like when I finally decide to grow up. ;)

not to rub it in, but i think my 12 year old would be pretty stoked. i get to work on movies and get paid to ride roller-coasters and wander around the cool forbidden ares of a theme park.

course, i was kinda dumb as a 12 year old...

We all somehow never end up the way we think we should be when we grow up. I miss being 12...full of dreams and aspirations untainted by the big bad real world. I guess very few people stumble into what they dreamed about, or some just wanted it badly enough. I don't know, but maybe you can find the soul of whatever you wanted to be in your life outside of work. People shouldn't allow their careers to define their lives. There's a whole lot more out there then just a job. I hope that you find what you're looking for.

I always wanted to travel the world, and I find myself trapped after getting a taste of it while in the Army.
