Veritas- Aequitas

i knew a girl.
can't say i loved her- but i did.
i'm always finding truth in what i proved false.
people always see the cover of the book,
only this time, i opened it to see what was
inside.

so...after a while of working in corporate america as a wholesale banking executive, i've finally realized that i hate it and have decided to completely shift ends of the spectrum. i've realized my calling (if that's what we can consider it) in life and i know that i want to help people and help improve the quality of life for people in general. hence, i'm going back to school for a masters in counseling and specializing in abuse victims and addictions recovery. i feel like this will be my way of giving. i also discovered that i want to do something (career wise) where i can come home at the end of the day knowing i did some good in the world. i used to be a singer and always wanted to sing as my career but i've discovered that there are 2 things in this world: a passion for something and a commitment to something. i've realized that my passion is singing and music but my commitment is to helping others. therefore, its ok to be selfish and keep my passion for myself- to enjoy it for when i need it- but to have my commitment as my job and to share it with others. i encourage anyone reading this to find your passion- keep it for yourself- and then have a commitment to something and share whatever it may be with as many people as you can. this life and this world can be, at times, cruel. but remember that there are also so many people enveloped with good that we can give and take and learn from one another so the positive can begin to outweigh the negative. we are all part of this website for a reason- what's yours?
