balance

I've struggled recently... with balance.
It's just so important. everything tends to outweigh ME.
it's time to tip that scale and make ME balance with everything else.

I was putting one of the littles i babysit for to bed tonight and i asked her "what do you want to be when you grow up?"
she said "what do you mean... what do I want to be? or what do I want my job to be?"
i was just struck by how she differentiated between who a person is and what their job is.. because the two aren't mutually exclusive anymore... so many people are so wrapped up (myself included) in what one does for a living and making it the most important and most developed thing in one's life.
she's 7.
there is hope for the world.


balance.
