Was recently talking to a friend about my job search and said I'm much more comfortable applying to positions where I know I'll be helping someone else realize their vision. You tell me what *you* want & I'll do everything I can to help make that happen. "I'm a Sam, not a Frodo!"

A different friend attributes this to my being what she considers a true Virgo. Virgos want to be helpers, she says. But, anyway, point being that I'm extremely motivated to help others accomplish their goals but pretty uncomfortable with the idea of being in charge of anything.

Anyway, the friend I told this to recently said this in response: "You say you're a Sam but Sam became mayor after returning to The Shire!"

Then, referring to all the things I've been through publicly, he said, "In a way you have been to Mount Doom, stared square into the eye of Sauron. You know the landscape well! Hell, you've encountered far more orcs than most and survived."

I share this here today in case it's helpful for anyone else to hear. I know it's hard fucking times out there right now. Don't sell yourself short. You're more capable than you know.

Sometimes lately I get really fucking scared. I don't know what's going to happen. Things seem pretty bleak. So listen. We'll get through this. We've fended off monsters and come through the fire before. We're fighters. We're survivors.

Maybe someday we won't have to fight so hard anymore. I sure hope so. But for now, facing what's right in front of us, we'll come through it. I know we will.
