You see, I went to college. I worked real hard. I made average grades, and worked towards a sense of independence. I majored in two things that I loved, and created life goals for myself. I first graduated and got a good job, but was rarely happy. Upon leaving that I found something that I loved. By chance and a good friend I began volunteering with an organization and my life changed.
I felt that full feeling, despite no pay. I felt satisfied, even when hope seemed far away. I felt empowered, by the littlest of actions. And when it was all said and done, I knew it was a passion more than a calling.
I'm lucky to have a job, to live with someone who loves me, and to have my health among many things. But being type A isn't easy when you feel as if you aren't achieving the goals you have personally set for yourself. It causes you to become frustrated, and unsatisfied with the current situation.
But I know-- this little light of mine shines, because today I received a phone call that was a mere flicker to my soul. And from that phone call I remembered "your strength humbles me, your stories make me brave, and your hugs continue to embrace me". Right then I made the decision to re-work my schedule to follow my passion & to uphold my own standards....
