visiting

Drove down to Richmond with Stephanie to spend the day with Bernard. We walked around, ate oysters and reconnected thousands of miles away from where we first met. I asked him about his life and how he ended up in Richmond, Virginia of all places. The happier I felt for him, the more upset I felt with myself. Here he was, someone who chased after his dream and made it. He had it all, passion, freedom, and stability. And here I was doing everything I could to avoid the inevitably of living an unpassionate but stable life in finance because somewhere down the line I had allowed someone to convince me that you couldn't have both.
