I am not...

On the verge of tears and this can't be good.

I am not upset that my mother doesn't support my career choice.
I am not upset that I was just told by my mother that my current job isn't paying me enough. Ya know sometimes we accept jobs because we LOVE them, not because of the pay.
I am not upset and frustrated that my tutoring check is somewhere in the mail and I haven't received it yet.
I am not mad at the fact that I am back to being a completely broke grad student.
I am not overwhelmed at the fact that I have to lesson plan and create syllabi for 4 weeks of public policy curriculum.
I am not sad about the fact that I'm about to turn 25 and not where I want to be in life.
I am not beating myself up for the fact that the more I do, the less I feel I accomplish.
I am not feeling pathetic and lame.
I am not depressed over the fact that my blogger and tumblr friends understand me better than my actual friends.
I am not going to let my negativity bring me down, tomorrow is a new day and I hope know it will be better.

"It's all about the work, ... Nothing is going to fall into your lap. If you want to be a lawyer, see yourself as a lawyer, go to the library and start learning the law. If you want to be a rapper, start rapping and get out there. Live your life as if you already are where you want to be."

"It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things."
