you came, you lived, you learnt

Every time I feel like moaning about how I have to work weekends, or 14 hour days or not being able to go and do shopping or run errands as I like, I think of this -

The report looks understandable. Not so much like the blob of gobbledygook it was last week.

Superhero, if you were 29 and single, I'd be on your case telling you to go.

Because you have a family, I hold back.

Like I was telling the boyfriend a few days back -

"How do you want to be remembered? As someone who was part of just one thing great, or someone who did so many of nothing much at all?"

Okay I know this sounds so dramatic for something like a career change, but to me, it isn't just a job. It's who you are, and it's your choices that define who you are.

I chose to suffer, not because I'm a sado-masochist, but because I believe in waking up knowing you're going to be challenged, knowing that at the end of it, you can look back and say "wow, i can't believe i did that". I wanted to be part of that new team, knowing we have a lot to prove. I am proud to be part of that team whom I know can make it to the top someday. Knowing not all days will be that way, but whatever you go through will be worth it in the end. You came, you lived, you learnt. Period.
