This so could've been me

But instead I dropped out after three years with no degree to write and edit smut. Poorer, but happier in the long run (or so I keep telling myself as the rejections roll in). Seriously, as much as I envy the big bucks lawyers pull in, I have no poker face and can't do office politics, not to mention suits. But writing is often a lot like the law; there's that sense that you're never, ever done. There's one more thing you could consider/check/tweak. I wasn't cut out to be a lawyer but First Amendment issues still fascinate me. I try so hard to have "no regrets," because I know they're pointless, and those years introduced me to New York. I was so spoiled then to live in the Village and have all that free time, but I think those are things I couldn't appreciate until I didn't have them anymore. Even with an incredibly fucked up transit system, especially this week, I'm still happier than I was then, and have to keep reminding myself of that when faced with seemingly daunting tasks and to do lists. "Face It" indeed. So I am, through the good and the bad. I don't really have time for the big picture, getting too bogged down in the details, but I'm trying, and slowly coming to terms with the realization that all I can do is try.
