How did things get this way?

Interviews were intense today.  I did about 8 yesterday and another 12 today.  More next week, but yesterday and today were the big days.  I am emotionally drained and exhausted.  It takes a lot out of you to sit and hear their stories.  Their lives have been such crap and they all have different reasons why they are on the street.  It was just a lot.  But its days like these that really motivate me to keep trying to start a revolution in this world.  It was hard and right now I am drained, but tomorrow I will be ready to conquer the world.  It is energizing and motivating for me.  I just need at least a night to just sit in it.  Sit and feel the weight of it.  But then let that weight propel me forward to do even more work.  These kids are great.  For real, some of the coolest and most interesting and amazing people I have met in Seattle.  And I'm not just saying that.  Each of them had unique interests and talents that were fascinating to me.  I dunno, I'm just tired and my brain hurts right now.  But know that I will be jumping in with full force.  Jumping in to recreating this world.
