"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on."
-- Steve Jobs, 2005.
I’ve been spending these days in the transient space in between my dreams and my reality.
My dreams that perhaps will never be realized mostly due to fear related to uncertainty and risk, because nothing in the past four years of my life has prepared me to go down that path. Even though biology is a science, it is vastly unrelated to the type of knowledge required for my dream job, which involves an even balance between technology and art. And I think that especially in this economy, I’m too scared to take the leap and start over again from scratch.
And then there is reality - what I have experience in, what I am mediocre at, what I sometimes have interest in - in theory but not in practice. But with that also comes the very different fear that because it is not my true dream, even when I’m financially safe I’ll be a caged bird without the ability to become a pioneer and take flight, appreciate, and give back to the beauty of the world.
So what do I do? Steve Jobs would tell me to pursue my dreams.
Yet I know that at this point in life I don’t have the courage to do that. I feel too much like I’m already behind and that the best way to proceed is just to capitalize on what I already have.
Well, damn.

"There is a reason I said I’d be happy alone. It wasn’t because I thought I would be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It’s easier to be alone. Because what if you learn that you need love? And then you don’t have it. What if you like it? And lean on it? What if you shape your life around it? And then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It’s like dying. The only difference is, death ends. This? It could go on forever…"
