Sweating over lonely labour...

To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor, and to be given a chance to create, are the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy. - Bette Davis, actress

I miss the chance to create. I mean, of course I have plenty of room, I can write I can work on my thesis (the closest I get to work) but I have no great drive there so it doesn't feel like meat and potatoes, more like a bit of lettuce on the side (not even a proper salad). I wan't something to be part of, I think (might that be the proper greens?).

Yes, proper greens is a good metaphor. It's what a lot of people are looking for. Sometimes I think I'd find it if I went back to university and had a thesis of my own to work on; but sometimes also I think I have other work that's better, more important.
