Reflections.

Sometimes I find myself in a rut
where I look back and wonder,
"What have I done with my life?"

I look forward to the time
where I can just sit and breathe
and reflect properly.

I've learned over the past years
what I do and don't want
and though I've made mistakes along the way
I'm still continuing to learn from them.

I got into an argument/discussion with my roommate
about teaching and I had to remind myself to keep an open mind,
that not many people would realize how teaching isn't easy,
and that I also realize how no profession is really that easy
and that we teachers don't get paid or treated the way we deserve.
Granted, she said, "I never said it was easy, but..."

In any case, I need to finish my work,
and go and live.

There is just so much I haven't done.
