'you're a beginner. you shouldn't be so demanding'
'why bother editing their writings to make them look good if they don't pay you on time?'
'work and survive here a year, you could work at any magazine you like'
'you should do what you love'
***
there are so many voices around us.
the inevitable noises that would
confuse and trick us
telling us to fight
telling us to quit
telling us to change direction
telling us we're right
telling us we're wrong
the only thing left to do now is to stand on your ground
and keep doing what makes you feel alive.
regardless.
"I'm 32, Mr. Dunn, if I was thinking straight, I'd go back home, find a used trailer, buy a deep fryer and some oreos. The problem is, boxing is the only thing I ever felt good doing. That enough truth to suit you?"
(From the movie 'Million Dollar Baby', when Maggie Fitzgerald the woman boxer was asked, are u out of your mind?)
