WRESTLING MATCH:
So, there I was applying for jobs. On one side of the ring were those big, bad, fearsome societal expectations roaring for me to chase the money and straining to be let loose. On the other side of the ring lil’ ol dreams whispered “yeah” occasionally. To the victor went the spoils, unfortunately the winner was not always the peoples’ champion. I was spending all my time planning my future and I began to wonder if I would miss out on living my life. The questions I wrestled with were, did I want to be a human being? Or did I want to be a human doing?” The answer I needed to find, but didn't seem to consider, was that I could be both.
