2/8

every so often i come to the realization that i can't have anything in my life that does not support my work.

when it comes to people this doesn't mean that they need to like it

though it does mean they are willing to recognize it to some degree

but what it really means is that the people in my life must respect my relationship to it.

you wouldn't think it, but very often people can't or won't
(hard to tell which)
and then i have to accept that
and act in my best interests
which ultimately
(because that's the way i've set up my life)
is the work's best interest

sometimes i lose track of this piece of the puzzle for a while

anyone can feel free to remind me of it if i seem to be going off course again
lol
