Dreams Vs. Reality

I sit at my desk, looking out at the, ahem, carpark.  I am a self-made man.  I have fought both physically and mentally every person who has stood in my way.  I have migrated social class, a feat that only 2% of people ever do*. 

Now I have a problem.  Everybody in this social class thinks I got here the same way they did, by following Daddy's advice, and eating Mummy's packed lunches.  They make their genuine recommendations to get a good stable job in the public service, or work on my cv by spending two years in a good Insurance company.  The problem is that that seems nice.  

I did not work this hard to break through economic and cultural battles to stop here.  I need to take this to the next level.  I am scared.  I am terrified.  I am completely on my own in this.  I have nobody to ask for advice.  I keep throwing up in private.  I am getting nothing done.  

Sorry for talking about work, again, guys.  I am going to Nice with P for a romantic weekend if that is more of interest.


* Okay, I have almost been in a fight on two occasions in the last two weeks, but...

Ya, totally. Rolling in the street struggling? Getting kicked out into the alley by the bouncers? Totally.

You throw up under stress? I used to, once upon a while.

All too often, I am afraid.
