passion over practical needs

i almost fell in the pit again but i was able to guard myself from further downfall - self preservation

i am about to leave the portal of my dreams and about to enter a world far from what i have always dreamed of

i am compromising my passion for a practically more rewarding career, a decision that took me months of thinking

and i decided to give it a go - because of the better pay, benefits that my first love job couldn't offer

in this world, you can only live your passion if you are rich, lucky enough to be boss' pet and persistent despite the poor labor practice

that's why im giving it up... even if i truly love what i was doing. because sometimes the things you love doing would not necessarily satisfy one's being. we have various needs and passion does not guarantee to supply one with food, shelter and clothing.
