krowfaceI have been very proud of the fact that for a very long time I've had this attitude of taking my job very seriously, but not taking myself very seriously at all.
However, it really didn't get me much of anywhere. I ended up really coasting for a long time.
(Oh don't get me wrong, anyone who's been reading this journal since the beginning knows I've done a lot, and for the most part I've been pretty... prolific.)
Now however, I've decided to take myself very seriously. A big part of me is concerned about this change in attitude, because I see it as being selfish.
However, the other part of me knows it has to be okay to be selfish once in a while, and another part of me knows I have lived very very selflessly for most of my adult life.
So yeah, I'm okay with focusing on myself for the next few years. Once I'm done doing what I have to do, I'll make up for lost time and go back trying to save the world.
