now is the winter
So I've settled upon something i want :: badly. I want to be a print and web designer. All of the people who are great at what they do have weathered a "winter of discontent" [shakespeare's Richard III]. I'm ready to take my knocks.

Strangely, and yet understandably so, I don't feel disheartened. All of the rejections and seemingly discouraging events that I'm about to experience are a rite of initiation before things start falling into place.

I saw two shooting stars on two separate occasions this week. Good signs I think.

It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting. P. Coelho's "The Alchemist"
