Yet another cliched Mastercard moment

Working 15 hours straight, every single day, 7 days in a row, month after month.

Exhausting.

Being too tired to carry-on with social niceties and being labeled a social recluse.

Inevitable.

Realizing that being on-call every Holiday and every long weekend in the coming year.

Sucks.

Having a dream and believing in it.

Hard.

Keeping the faith when all hope is lost.

Harder still.


Living your dream every single second........ Priceless.


P.S. Having no time to blog, sad.

Realizing the dwindling number of footsteps treading the blog, sadder.

Discovering there are still some ever-hopeful souls who visit the blog, amusing.

Sometimes I think some dreams come true only when you open your eyes so I am sure this is just living through till you finally get to your dream destination, hang in there and onto your blog till then :)
