For the last 15 months my life has been second rate. The quality of it is a lot better than it ever was before, at least to an onlooker-- better health, better friends, better environment, better degree course, and I've even grown a lot, but I gave up on my dreams exactly 15 months ago and that is why my life is second rate.

I gave up on my passion, and substituted it for society's default life purpose, but ironically not because of failure. I'd been through plenty of that and it didn't stop me. It turns out that what I'd been working so hard for was moderately aligned with truth and power, but not love. I actually got a taste of success and it wasn't what I'd imagined at all -- it left me empty and depressed.

Somebody who I respect highly recognised my persistence and helped me back then... Boooo. Time to slap myself, and get back on the horse with my newly heart centered version of the goal. Hi ho silver!
