Gosh, I know the feeling of anticipation, anxiety, wondering what he's thinking, doing, what his motives are, etc. as uR would say, "I lettered in that, got the t shirt, too".
I also know the stress of finding a job. I have submitted my resume on no less than 66 jobs. I'm not exaggerating. Needless to say it's rough.
I read into everything H said or did to direct me in my strategy.
Futile.
Learned that the very hard way.
All of this, this journey, this pain, this change, this transition... There are no guarantees. None. But the lessons you learn are up to you. Humility is a good lesson for everyone but when we're done learning, the situation doesn't necessarily change. It just leads to another lesson: Adaptability and acceptance. And that leads to another: strength and resilience. Do you see where I'm going?
