This is a warning for sensitive types – this is one of my rants. So I am sitting here in day oncology at my local hospital and I have been busy typing away and generally ignoring people which is the best way to pass the time. However, due to the nature of such places you…
IT’S ALWAYS EASIER to speak from your scars, rather than your open wounds. I know you’re in the thick of your own problem and that you ache with uncertainty about what the next step should be. I remember ‘the yearn’ to trade and the old expectations about my career that I hung onto, bound to…
