Moving Forward
August 23, 2010
Today I come to many realizations. I realize that nothing lasts forever, no matter how beautiful it may appear at first. Nothing is perfect, no matter how much you want to believe it is. You don’t really know people until you’ve really exposed yourself to everything that that person has to offer.
I realize I have to move on, and it’s hard, but it’s in no way impossible. No matter how hard I try to live in the fantasy that is hope, I have to realize that it’s over. And that brings me full circle, right back where I was last year…but not quite.
Last year I was happy, and I was motivated to become the greatest games journalist in the world (a feat that is seemingly impossible yet entirely possible at the same time). This year, I find myself a little less happy, yet thousands of steps closer toward achieving my dream. So where does that leave me? Honestly, I don’t really know. All I am certain of is that I will continue working toward my goal. I won’t let any negative situation I have been a part of in the last couple of months deter me from my goal. If anything, I’ll feed off of that negativity, let it drive me closer to my goal, and turn it into something positive: dedication.
No, I don’t know how I’ll be feeling tomorrow morning. I won’t know how I’m feeling tomorrow night. But I do know I’ll set forth for greatness and do exactly what I’ve said I want to do this whole time.
I will move on.
I will become the greatest games journalist in the world.
I will be driven, focused, and relentless.
