i provided a timeline for my corporate plans to my dad during conversation over the past month or so. while cutting my hair, my mom brought it up. she said i should have something lined up before i attempt pursuing writing full-time. she said a lot of people would love to be in my position, especially with my job. i told her i know, because i do know. despite my ambition, i’d like to think i have enough perspective to realize i am in a good position in life, but at the same time, my wisdom at this point is telling me i deserve more out of life. i am also aware my wisdom could be naïve, but that’s a conclusion i’m willing to accept with the road i’m traveling down.
because it’s either this, or slowly walk down the path of regret.
