Emerson's got it down. That's success for you.
I like it, though. It's honesty to the point of it being almost depressing, but when is honesty ever painless? And I've always told myself I'd never give in to this sort of life, I would starve in the streets before working a 9-5 job and coming home to a house full of kids and a husband who doesn't love me, is possibly cheating on me with someone ten years younger at his own monotonous job.
But I guess this is the life we're bound for. And we can only change it ourselves. Life is what you make of it, success is in the way we see it, and nothing is static.
It isn't the destination that matters, it's the way we get there. But that's a tangent that I won't follow.
Good piece. |
