On Wearing Boxers & A Bra

Basically: if one dream doesn’t work out, find a new dream. What I want to do is work with minority populations in a positive way. That’s a pretty big umbrella with which I can do so much.

Sometimes things don’t work out, no matter how much we want them. My life is based around passion, not desire. As long as I’m passionate about my work, everything else is secondary. What I want pales in comparison to my drive; what I feel I need to do in order to live happily.

It’s really hard to give up on something I’ve wanted so, so badly and have worked so hard for. I’m not giving up completely, but I need to put aside this idea that I NEED this thing in order to be happy, because that’s just not true. What I need to do is change the way I’m thinking about things. What I need to do is keep working hard and keep focused. What I need to do is understand that not getting this will not destroy me, just redirect me.

I need to keep pushing on. I need to remember that the snow eventually thaws and that the air will soon be warm again. I need to find more than one road to walk down. I need to remember that happiness is created, not found.

I need to remember that I am capable of more than I think I am.
