Time to do what you're meant to do

It's been uneventful lately. Not that I'm complaining! It makes for few posts here, but it means that I'm not being beset by misfortune. I've been looking for a more consistent job because getting laid off every few months isn't working for me.

I may have to relegate advancing my photographic career to the weekends so that I can continue having a place to sleep and food to eat. It doesn't please me much to realize that. I recently watched The Rookie on tv the other week and it is supposed to be an uplifting movie. What I got out of it wasn't quite that. (There's a spoiler coming here.)

First, yes, he made it. However, he only lasted two seasons before he was, again, back to the life he used to live (as implied by the movie's epilogue). So, no matter how hyperbolic his return to playing, he did have to return to earth. To me, that just didn't seem good enough. Five seasons would have seemed more appropriate.

Second, was the quote from his father. "It's ok to think about what you want to do until it's time to do what you're meant to do." *grin* You would think I took it the same way as the main character. Nope. I inferred that what you want to do is what you're meant to do.

Now the question for me is whether what I want to do is what I am meant to do. Not really a question, as I think being a photographer is what I am meant to do. I suppose the real defining question is: Can I afford to do what I want to do? The simple answer is no, I can't afford to. Or if I try doing this, I won't last very long. So, I guess it is time to do what I was meant to do. Which may not be what I want to do.
