Yup. Definitely my optimism.
I had a lot working out for me after high school. Great college, great career, and a mostly positive self-concept feeling like I could do anything.
And I could and I have, but without the right opportunity ever being there, I'm afraid all of that is just meaningless when it comes to having a fulfilling life. I'm no stranger to things taking incredibly longer than they need to to the point that it feels patronizing when I do get there, like being the last person to be chosen for a team.
I don't have an eternity, ya know? I won't go on as this isn't a vent thread .
