I have time to sit and to think but not enough time to do.
The job I currently have only pays well when I work enough overtime for three people and even then I am just barely getting by.
This same job is impeding my ability to do the artwork that I crave to do, and said artwork can only be done when I shut out family and friends and all prospective outings and just work. For myself. And I realize now that this is kind of necessary, not to say that family isn't important, because they are, as are friends that enrich our lives and make us feel better about ourselves. But sometimes you have to swallow the disappointment and shoulder the blame of your own self sabotage and realize that you, and your work, are that important, and I'm not talking about the work of playing Zelda on a 9 hr mission, or of searching for a bodega that's open at 2am because your lighter is out of fluid and you're all out of matches (although both are admirable shows of perseverance).
However, sometimes we have to do what is difficult and most arduous in order to succeed and make it to our goals, and once we make it, well then, maybe that game of Zelda won't seem so trivial after all....
Here's to hopin'!
