The former part of the quote was what actually got me thinking as the words reverberated with what was happening in my professional career as well. I had just begun settling into my new job with a group of people I was really comfortable with when the inevitable happened. People I loved started moving onto pastures anew. The news really hit me hard when I learnt that a very close associate of mine was calling it quits. This person has had a huge impact on me. I was just setting my toddler steps in my professional life, unsure of my own abilities, when this individual arrived as a shining guiding light coaxing me forward and more than anything else, making me want to be a better person.Naturally I was despondent with Mickey's words ringing in my ears.
When all seemed lost and I was very close to calling it quits, "She" entered my conscious. Sensing the despair, she followed me wherever I went despite me pushing her away. She finally held my hand and I was filled with reassuring thoughts of a brighter future allowing no room for despondency to creep in. She was Hope and I don't intend to let go of her hand ever.
