More and more each day, I find myself feeling completely disengaged at work. I do not have the luxury to stare into space daydreaming about my strategy to transform my dreams into my new reality. I spend my days confined to a desk surrounded by dingy, gray, cubicle walls where I am required to meet what seems to be never ending deadlines. When I venture off to that place that tells me I can do what I love for work, I am awakened by the voices in my head that obnoxiously chime, “you should be thankful to have a job”. Logically, I comprehend the necessity of being self-reliant which ultimately begins and ends with securing stable work. Why is it that I possess so many innate talents which are blatantly obvious to people who truly know me, BUT I have only been pushed to strive for average? Average does not really require much effort on my part, despite my proven track record for having to work harder than most to achieve or attain some of the basics in life. Although I accept common sense realities, I wholeheartedly reject the notion of silencing my dreams for the sake of succumbing to other people’s perceptions of reality.
