State of the WolfSkunk...
Jan. 5th, 2004 06:17 pmFor 27 years I have walked the face of this planet...
...trying to find what I like, and attaining it...
...having to pull back when my foundations were to weak...
...missing opportunities when I was taken away...
...leaving me poor and wanting.
Twenty seven years, and I want to work, to earn a living, and enjoy a true life. Yet every chance I get is delayed or removed before I can make a move. I wish to learn more, but I cannot due to debt. I wish to pay it off, but I cannot because every job is taken. I want to do things right... but I have no means.
Am I destined to failure? Or am I in the wrong place? I hear of plenty of jobs everywhere, but I have no car, no licence, no method to learn how to drive -- I'm limited in what I can do where. I can commute eazily enough to Washington DC and Baltimore, but the job market is not what it used to be, and the demand hasn't caught up yet. And yet, companies continue to fire more and more. There is a high churn rate.
I do not know what I'm doing wrong, and yet I try to do right -- and sometimes I feel like I'm trying to catch up. Hopes and dreams continue to burn, but they may never be realized.
Twenty seven years I have walked the face of this earth. It's getting to be that my greatest achevements is walking and talking... and existing.
