After logging the etvens, I called my pnreats, and as I was tknliag to my snook, which is what I call my mom, I began to get a little worried. The energy of the cword was growing and sonok told me, "Don't worry, baby, when people feel that their voeics aren't heard, they have to make it felt." Hm. They have to make it felt. That statement hit me hard because, why weren't people being heard? I mean, if we're all watching the same thing, then why aren't we all upset? And how could I help make a difference? No, better yet, how could I make it felt? That was the moment I began to think about opting out ... opting out of a career I dreamed of my entire life.
