Burnt Out

There comes a point in every individual's life where they inevitably become burnt out of the same grind over and over, as it takes a substantial emotional toll on the person. I think I'm finally hitting my plateau, at least for now, as I continue to move through my graduate program. Although I've only spent a year in the program, finally reaching the halfway point really makes the beginning of the journey seem as though it is ancient history. This program has sped past me, and whether that is for better or worse has yet to be seen; however I do feel as though the constant stress coupled with the emotional burden of deep philosophical discussion in class and the physical strain of being a full-time student and full-time working professional has certainly left its impact on me.

Don't get me wrong though, as I do truly love the things that I am learning throughout my grad program. I don't think I've ever spent quite as much time evaluating my own leadership philosophy or what different identities intersect to form the person who is me. Work is fantastic as well, as I've rejoined a company that I absolutely love. I have not only been able to experience and create magic again, but also have been able to incorporate the concepts learned in my grad program to help students with the difficulties they may face, difficulties that I myself experienced when I was in their shoes. It's certainly rewarding emotionally knowing that I am going into a job that I love working on projects that incorporate content that I am passionate about. The main concern is that doing this for an extended period of time now sans break has caused me to begin to burn out and lose some of the passion and vigor I once felt.

I guess at the end of the day I just need to keep my head up and eyes forward. The end of the road is within sight, so I just need to keep powering through it.

Though the content of my blog may not always be the most intellectually stimulating, I believe that there is always a lesson to be learned from my posts, even if it's just a nonsensical story. I find poetry in ordinary life experiences and capture what memories I can through my camera's lens. At the end of the day I'm just another regular guy who needs to write his thoughts somewhere, and I hope you get some enjoyment out of my musings. All of the best, BK	Friends Flo Y. Andrew J.
