"You are never too old to set another
goal or to dream a new dream."
- C.S. Lewis
2017 was a breezy year in that I gave it mediocre effort. I
guess the failed attempts to do better got to me. I was always an optimist.
People knew me for being bubbly… but those closest to me, truly closest to me,
saw that part of me dimmed. Like a candle’s flame losing oxygen. I entered the
deadly mindset of “Why try? If I end up exactly where I would have anyway?”.
Applying to all those jobs I didn’t even know if I wanted, in the hopes to not
end up here, exactly where I am anyway, in a job I never really chose. All
those attempts of doing well in my studies only to end up with the same
mediocre grades...
