Busy

Sacrifices are necessary in life. Too much emphasis has been put on the "good life" or "bein on easy street". Nothing good seems to come just by gliding by, other than not having the burden of making a difference anywhere in this world. I've been finding myself with little to no free time, and the free time I have being used to further expand my abilities in computer animation or just some me and Jesus time. Even then it's only a half hour maybe twice a day. But from 8am-12am, it's consistent working. I've given up time with friends, opportunities of developing new friendships, but all to make something bigger than myself happen. I love the work I do, I get to work with people and develop there. If there wasn't any sacrifice, though, it wouldn't be work, and it wouldn't be growing me. It's frustrating and very tiresome at times, but I know it will pay off. I know where my values are, and I will never forsake my friends or family for the sake of plain progress. Not if it doesn't benefit anyone except myself, anyway.

I just got my hands on some 3d software and I'm really looking forward to expanding in that, and resources keep coming for me, and hopefully I can make something amazing happen for people with it eventually. I've seen what possible with it, and I wanna bring out the best in it!

That's just a glimpse of where I'm at now, and that's just plainly where I'm at. I'm learning to manage my time, lead teams, and grow in areas that I'd rather not do sometimes. It's all worth it, though, in the end. I have hope for the future and definitely no expectation of having work let up... maybe transfer somewhere else for the better, but not really go away. That's exciting, though. I have a future to look forward to. Not many people believe in that. But I know it. If only others did too.
