Café Biblio Tech...Another gut-wrenching day. I was thinking about the general work and sacrifice that goes into earning a degree today in order to try to convince myself that all of this toil will pay off. And I came to a resounding 'yes'-like conclusion after thinking about it. One day this will all pay off. I will be doing something that I truly love and life will be good. Dealing with all of the pressures of society will also always be hard. But there are ways to escape. I was reading this today and it made me feel a little better.
The Laughing Heart
by Charles Bukowski
Your life is your life
Don't let it be clubbed into dank submission.
Be on the watch.
There are ways out.
There is a light somewhere.
It may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
Be on the watch.
The gods will offer you chances.
Know them.
Take them.
You can't beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
And the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
Your life is your life.
Know it while you have it.
You are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.
