"We all just want people to take a bit of time to see who we really are, to try to understand us. We just want others to understand that we're just as small as they are in this world."
This sums up my feelings for while now...I think it a beautiful quote.

Rant Rant Rant
Whenever I accomplish something or finally get something I've always wanted I never feel a sense of accomplishment. Its like...ok what do I do now?Where do I go from here?
It feels like I can never enjoy an achievement for what it is. I always have to look for the next goal and the next chance to fail or succeed. One thing though, I'm glad I've learned to do over the last year and a half is how to react to failure. I think this comes with getting knocked down and trying really hard and failing enough times that giving up just doesn't make sense...its the ultimate admission of defeat.
Its like when I started job interviews for grad and intern positions in my 2nd last year of uni. I just couldn't get interviews...mainly thanks to how prestigous the University of Western Australia (we're like 80th in world rankings) is not. But when I did and I finally got the intern that I wanted then the job offer I wanted...it kinda feels like where do I go from here. I just want to start working so I can aim at something again.
I've got the JSDA Series 2 (test to be a stockbroker) in a bit. Failure is not an option...dissapointing the guys who believed in me enough to give me a chance that few others are getting is just not something I want to think about.
My goodness that was disjointed...

my first post!
I've always wanted to write..but I've never really pursued it. In fact in highschool it was one of the only things I was above average in. Also I think a lot and I think its a good way for me to vent so I don't drive myself crazy letting my thoughts go in tangents that just leave me somewhere I didn't want to be before I started thinking!
Also I met someone recently that kinda helped me understand the romance of writing. Don't try fill in any gaps...I'm very single:)
My first proper post will follow in the next few days...
