taking the good with the bad

mostly, cos i don’t have a choice.
and i’m sure it’s some kind of equilibrium seeking force in the universe... one of those rules of thermodynamics that applies to everyday life: there is only so much goodness to go around.

so the good news is progress in my work, confirmation that i am indeed an excellent english language user (a very long story), an amazing album [naghsh khial: homayoon shajarian], and a general feeling of peace.
unfortunately, these have been balanced by some ‘minor’ things that a kink in my day: people who screw up and expect me to work miracles, liars, people who think i don’t know shit and try to threaten me, and generally having the carpet pulled out from under my feet.

it's hard to remain at peace when each day brings unexpected twists and turns. i guess that's what they call 'life'.

it’s been an exhausting week and it’s not even over yet.
back to the drawing board i guess.
