Pact

I loved my internship. I loved it, loved it, loved it. It was useful sensible work which tickled my fancy amongst people who were smart and keen in a city and place I like. What's not to fall in instant love with?

Yet, I see people who may have come in with similar hopes and happinesses turn jaded and tired and I worry. Here's a pact, bloggy. You and I will weather this. Our enthusiasms are built on strong foundations. And as long as we can keep finding challenges, we will manage. What is more wonderful than to find out one day that you've come through something you thought that you'd give in to? That is true happiness, as true as I've ever felt.

We've been through many many bad things. I've cried secretly on planes from hidden sadness, I'm weathering the loss of a most loved one, I've managed depression and dejection. I am not going to borrow trouble. I am going to remember how much and how badly I wanted the job while I was there. I'm going to remember the praise, the constructive criticisms and manage.

And secretly to you, my Bloggy, I acknowledge my dearest friends who have been my bedrock and pillars of strength. I love them, I love them, I love them. What did I ever do to deserve such perfect people?
