“Anyone whose goal is ‘something higher’ must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.”
— Milan Kundera (The Unbearable Lightness of Being)

How do you know if it’s time to let go of a dream ? When do you say that you have to give up a fight? I do not have lofty dreams or big-time aspirations. Someone asked me recently about my plans in life. I do not have a ready answer. Maybe I really have none. But my thoughts are not with myself but with someone else’s plight. It makes me feel like I’m on a fool’s errand, trying to provide encouragement to someone else when I cannot even see the light in my own seemingly never-ending tunnel. Trying to come up with something positive to impart is not as easy as writing a fat burner review, but somehow doing so strengthens my self-affirmation. Of the many ironies in life, I think I just found one of mine in a place where it comes full circle.
