But Then What?

I'm left feeling like being an adult just means having the strength and energy to do all the things you wanted to grow up and do, and not having the time or money to do them simultaneously.

It works like this:

• If you have energy and time, you're not making money (me right now). 
• If you have energy and are making money, there's no time for the fun stuff. 
• And if you're making money and find yourself finally with the time, you're wiped of energy and bed and a movie is the best option. 
• If you succeed in all three, it's because you're a healthy 50something, or you've found the sweet spot post graduation. I know exactly two people who started their dream job right out of college.

I would love nothing more than to find a medium (preferably a happy one but really at this point I'm not picky) so that there's time to be young and lively, while still forging a career path. I get that Making It means making a lot of sacrifices, but what happens when there's none left to make?

What happens when you've given your all and still can't convince others to take notice? 

Where do we go from here?

How much harder does it have to get before something gives?
