The end is fucking nigh and it's gonna be alright.

I was asked the following: "If and when the end of the world were to happen on December 12, 2012, at that moment would you be okay with the thought of your life ending, feeling that you were happy at what you have done with your life and what you have up to that point?"

The most immediate answer that came to me, without a slight hesitation, was that I would completely fine, even happy, and at peace with my life ending on December 12th, 2012. Now that is not to say my life has been roses and daisies. I still think that I am living on the western side of Hades at this point. But when I think about what I am doing now, where I am at in my life, I am actually okay if I were to even get struck down tomorrow. I would not be sad nor angry that life was cut short.

I feel that even thought that life has been hard and more full of crap than awesomeness, I nonetheless lived a life. A life full of events, experience, turmoil, love, pain, sadness, betrayal, and unconditional love from animals. I find myself thinking as much as my personal life has been utter crap, reflecting on my horrifically poor life decisions, there was one thing I was always blessed with: working in a field that I truly love. I actually love what I do, including the long hours, endless pain from repetitive movements, shitty moronic co-workers but when it come to my actual job, the care I give to tiny little four pawed creatures, it makes my heart melt. My work in the last ten years, despite all the downs with it, has been amazing. I have learned so much from my work and continue to learn that its so wonderful to be constantly challenged.

It's because of the fact that I have one ONE thing that I love in life, my career, is the only reason why I would be more than okay with the world ending tomorrow. Because I actually found one thing tangible and meaning that has added something in my life. Yeah I bitch about my job but that doesn't mean I don't love what I do.

So yeah, bring on the end of the world. I am ready to stare you in the face and let you end it with a smile on mine.
