Adjusted Expectations

I spoke with Mimi the other night.

It was a refreshing conversation. Speaking with her reminded me of the person I used to be. Remember how I was so set on being world reknowned and famous and prosperous?
Wow. I don’t think of any of that much lately.
“I’ve forgotten that dream,” I explained to her.
She laughed. “Ok Tee. Whatever you have to tell yourself to get through this moment is fine. A dream like yours can not be forgotten or given up on. You’re just going through the motions right now until you finish school. You’ll be back.”
I shook my head.
I don’t even know if I want any of that anymore.
The most I hope for is to be able to support myself financially and a consistent creative avenue to give my gifts. Everybody doesn’t have to know about it, just those who need to hear my messages.
I haven’t given up. I’ve just adjusted my vision slightly. I haven’t given up. I’m just tailoring my expectations to be more accepting of who i am today instead of always being so frustrated that I haven’t achieved my goals yet.
I haven’t given up
I haven’t…
