Don't put any stock in my speculation, of course. I'm no therapist.


It helps to get a little outside perspective. I do feel like I'm behind, but then I'm very ambitious, so I'm probably going to feel that no matter how far ahead I am.

Just remember that too much ambition could lead to unrealistic expectations for yourself. Don't beat yourself up if progress is slower than you'd like.

Take myself as an example. I chickened out of a law career and chose the safer route of teaching. I'm behind, sure, but I'll achieve what I want in time.

Maybe unrealistic in the sense that I thought it would happen more quickly, yes, but I know what I'm capable of in terms of ability.

Right, time to eat. Later, TET.

You shoved a big potato in your mouth and returned to your electronic device in order to make sure we do not have the time to locate you while you're absent? Oh well, I guess we'll just have to suffer you.

There's a lot of love in my heart, but since I couldn't find anyone to share it with, it turned sour. ALL OF IT.
