a little encouragement

Just because I don't have time to write these days doesn't mean I can't seek out encouragement, right?  The perfectionist in me needs this constant reminder:

Whenever I decide to let go, a force inside of me refuses.  That's when I know, it has a become a part of me.  Or maybe, always has been.  

Accept the conflict, my friend said.  You can't be one without the other.  The balance of the two is what makes you whole.  Embrace it.  Be a lawyer.  Be a writer.  And the people who love you will understand.  Even when your time with them is limited by the pursuit of this work.  Work it.  

And that's why I love them. :)
