This morning, I received an email telling me that Yahoo! Photos was closing, so I had to move all of my digital photos to Flickr. As I sat there and looked at all of the photos I took of all of my old friends and from my many travels, I suddenly felt nostalgic for the adventuresome person I once was. The person that would randomly buy plane tickets to developing countries. The person that had such clear life and career ambitions. The person that dated and lived in the present and didn't go home after a 14 hour day and only to do more work at home...

Now, chained to a desk and a cell phone, this person seems only a distant memory; buried deep under piles of paperwork and orientation schedules. The constant dual between my ambition and my desire for happiness never ending... Not knowing which path to choose. Could I ever be happy not being a super hero?
