I did not realize the link between these two words; love and dreams, feelings and ambitions.
I heard it for the first time from my chief during my internship. I did not want to see the truth behind his proposal. I was young and naïve. I used to believe to lot of stuff. For me, it was totally choking. Love and ambition were totally unlinked. Make a choice or use one of them to catch the other...no sense! One young and pretty intern was working for another front desk. She came often in our office to deliver some files or requests. If every member of my team has a look for her, my manager saw her as my soul mate. I didn’t manage to see why, she was pretty, it was a fact, but she was far away of my regular meat … I mean she was just under my standard (I used to think like that I was very young). When I asked him why? He tried to show me the solid couple we could become. I was not receptive. He was talking about homogeneity and future. She was probably ambitious and what? We come from the same community and what? We worked in the same business and what? For those reasons, I should make it with her. Is that the life? Is that ambition? Is that the love? Is it the way to choose the mother of my son? I was full of illusion…Full of this love stories on TV, in the literature… I was in the darkness. I know now the truth.
