(All your hard work will soon be paid off.)
Coming out of the week from hell, this fortune was a little eerily true. Well, I guess we'll see if the "paid off" part comes true, but I did work my ass off all week.
Over the past week, I couldn't help but wonder about these fortunes. They are all so positive. "You will be successful in your career" and "Good luck bestows upon you. You will get what your heart desires." Cool, but life doesn't always work out that way. At times you want to just crush up that stupid cookie under your size six foot and yell "I NEED TO STOP BEING TOLD THINGS WILL BE ALRIGHT AND FOR THINGS TO START ACTUALLY BEING ALRIGHT." ...not that I've done that or anything...
There is a fine line between what is in our control and what is out of it and when we cross that line, well, the shit tends to hit the fan. You can bust your ass for weeks without any sleep or traces of a social life and still feel completely behind. I've learned that everything is in perspective; ugly is in the eye of the beholder, time is intangible, and success is measured by...? That fine line of what's in control and what's out is drawn ever-so-elegantly through all of these matters and within it we still have a threshold of our own perception- how "in control" we actually are, how hard we've worked, how much energy we have devoted to one thing.
As far as my hard work goes, I hope it pays off. I hope everyone's pays off. But even still, when you only see the end product, the hard work just turns into making all the effort look easy.
