first off, happy gday to my brother dbaze. i literally spent an hour looking for a photo of us from a party freshman year last night, but couldn’t find it anywhere, smh. i’ll save it for next year should i find it. i had a meeting with my dad’s mentor. we talked about work, where i am in life, the similarity in our work experiences, and my future. i told him i wanted to be a writer and that it’s a burning desire. i’m extremely grateful for his presence not only in my dad’s life, but in my life, too. he was the driving force in bringing me onboard, and for him to take time out of his day to meet with me, definitely meant a lot. it’s a lot of pressure on me right now, but i’m feeling more ready than ever to make the jump. if i don’t fly, i’ll fall. if i fall, it’s sink or swim, and i’ve never considered myself one to sink.
despite all of this, something tells me i’ll have to get used to my fear of heights.
