"proper jobs" are nothing if your heart & mind are not in it.

Besides, life is not about work or what people perceive as a proper job.

Whatever you see or do has an impact, it may be small, but it is always there.

I get the feeling you're lucky enough to know that despite everything, what you do is "real".
