finding your path.
when we were younger, it was easier to find one’s path. “i want to be an astronaut.” “I want to be a doctor.” “i want to save the world.” i want to fight for change.” but, as we get older, we allegedly become more realistic. our dreams start to fade and turn yellow. it’s not practical. you can’t make money doing that. only a small percentage of people get to do that. then poof. dreams simply disappear.
i went to law school because i wanted to work for aclu. however, my partying ways during said pre and actual law school experience made that virtually impossible. so for the last seven or eight years post graduation, and taking and passing the bar, i’ve been trying to make do with what i can get. having no direction. trying to find any job to pay off my law school loans. making myself believe that some dreams just aren't meant to happen. but, deep down, i still want to fight for civil rights. heck. i actually went to the press conference when the california supreme court ruled that marriage was a state constitutional right. and i was in cloud nine. one of the best moments of my life. and i forgot about how much i love fighting for people’s rights.
but, now i remember. and i am going to try to pursue that somehow. civil rights. it’s why i went to law school. it’s why i decided that it was a good idea to take on the aforementioned law school loans because it was worth it. so i have to do this. i have to find a way to make this my life and passion again. and not forget. my path.
