“The staying and doing it, in spite of everything.”
This sums up my journey with starting a photography business thus far, almost perfectly, though Ms. Strayed isn’t speaking about business at all.
If you’ve ever tried to do something large, and unknowable, and full of muchness, then you know this feeling.
I suspect this feeling has made itself known to each of us at some point, in a specific, individual way.
And I suppose one way to define the successes and the failures in our lives is by whether or not we ultimately stay and do that unknowable, large thing.
In spite of everything.
