why can't you go back to plan a?
all our lives it seems we're told to have a back up. a just in case. a reserve. all that means is that you end up juggling two lives. and eventually one of them has got to give. and by that stage what you really wanted to do has been made too frightening for you to even contemplate yet alone pursue. it's like juggling chainsaws and someone throws you a safe nerf baton. the whole thing gets you off guard and instinctively you grab for the soft plush nerf hurtling towards your head. and sure you might get it, but those chainsaws are unforgiving and they'll come baring down on you and pretty soon you've got no arms.
ok so maybe that analogy isn't 100% right but you get my drift. plan b's are evil. they're designed to steal your spirit. i say shred, burn and smoke the ashes of plan b and get back to living a life that is all about plan A. i don't care what plan A is... if it's to be an accountant then be the best goddamn accountant you can be, get possessed by balance sheets, and profit and loss statement and other things accounty. be so good and passionate about what you do that they have to name processes after you, systems after you, that accountants all over the world erect statues of you. that you get groupies, after all why should rockstars get all the groupies?
and i know all of us have wanted to be a rock star? so why not? why not pick up that dusty guitar, take the sheet off the drum kit, unclasp that accordion and get back doing what you once loved. get in touch with your inner rock god. and play
