Two Years Later...

A lot can happen in two years. For example: Your dream job of eight years may swiftly vanish into the wind. You may have a second child. You may notice that, while it seems the world has ended, it still somehow continues to turn. You may learn a valuable lesson in humility while looking for jobs that pay 40K per year. You may learn a valuable lesson in humility while looking for jobs that pay 30K per year. You may learn a valuable lesson in humility while looking for jobs that pay 20K per year. You may find a job that you like nearly as much as the last one, and pays 12K per year. You may learn to appreciate volunteering more. You may learn to appreciate making your own stuff more. You may regret not appreciating a full night's sleep more. You may finally accept that the world continuing to turn is okay.
