I beg to differ, my dear Poet.
I've seen your writings and you put words together in ways I can only hope to someday. You express your pain and your fear in an open and honest way here and we love you for showing us how to do it.
Jobs are important -- no doubt. But at the end of the day, it isn't written on your Tombstone "Here lies Poet - CEO." What is written is your name and dates - when you were born and when you died. Testimony that what is important is WHO you are and the fact that you lived. How you live is important. Waiting around for the right job isn't living.
If the career you envision isn't happening, work to pay the bills and find passion in something else. Volunteer (I wish I had people like you) -- go rock babies in the NICU, or read to a elderly person. Giving ourselves away is a sure-fire way to get it all back and more.
I know you have some sarcastic remark on the tip of your tongue. Go ahead, spit it out. And then try to see yourself through my eyes. I've got a pretty clear view.
Take care,
Daisy
