I was sick, and I was tired, but I kept working. My body ached from the exhaustion, and every breath I took was laborious. Still, I pressed on, knowing that there was a world out there waiting for me to conquer it. Every second that I could dedicate to getting the blog ready for the writing process, I’d dive headfirst into the work, feeling the energy of my purpose coursing through my veins. The Christmas lights twinkling around the room reflected in my eyes as I continued to work relentlessly. Christmas was quickly approaching, and our living room was bathed in the warm, comforting glow of our tree. Its lights cast a soft illumination on the laptop screen, where I toiled away, trying to put together this magnum opus I’d been envisioning. I would often get lost in the haze of Netflix shows playing in the background, half-listening to the dialogue as my fingers danced across the keyboard. My eyelids grew heavy with fatigue, and I longed for a moment of respite before my night shifts at the hotel. I knew my days working the graveyard shift, holding a Walkie-Talkie, were numbered. With each passing night, I felt one step closer to leaving it all behind, like a snake shedding its skin. I was over it all – the thankless job, the mundanity of it. Dominate The Globe was my escape, my salvation, and my legacy. It was what I had spent my entire life building up to, and the anticipation was both thrilling and nerve-wracking. This realization made me anxious, my heart pounding with impatience. I couldn’t wait for the blog to launch, for the world to see what I had been working on tirelessly. I knew that the work ahead of me was monumental, a colossal mountain to scale. But I wanted to win. The desire for success burned within me, an unquenchable fire that fueled my every action. Winning was my obsession, my singular focus. Providing my family with a life that most people only dreamt of was the driving force behind my tireless work. So, working through the holiday season didn’t phase me at all. The twinkling lights, the smell of gingerbread cookies, and the soft hum of carols in the air were nothing more than a backdrop to my ambition. The work never stops, and I was determined to keep moving forward.
