It’s whether the fight is worth it. That’s what’s been getting me. Knowing that there will be battles. Bad days and bad years. Bad people you’ll have to manage or manoeuvre around. Just waiting and being on the scene or networking looking for the lucky break to drop. For what? Really? And what are the chances that it won’t go far and that you’ll know it’s not insignificantly attributable to that lucky break just not dropping for you. Which is fine, that’s the way of the world, as well as the difficulty of labour. But why the battles then and the tolerance of shitty people in positions of power and the sycophancy networking? What for?!
