I describe the passion of activism as "rocket fuel", i.e., explosive. I don't believe everyone has that kind of passion within them. I know I do. When focused, passion can drive one to overcome and achieve the extraordinary. But it's playing with fire and the fire consumes. I recognize when I free my passion to advance a worthy cause, I risk consuming myself.
I am wary, even fearful, of it, but if I repress it, I will be less than what I can be. I believe that achieving something greater with my life will require I be passionate. How do I give myself over to it without hurting myself? Maybe there isn't a way to generate creation without destruction - I hope that's not true.
Related: Reading on-line about law schools, specifically about the one that's accepted me and the one likeliest to accept me, has been an anxiety-inducing experience.

A pretty good day
I caught the late E train and it moved slow, but I was able to clock in on time. I was hit with no jails, first time ever for that. I learned how to use the new fax program and wrote a user's guide for it. I was informed by my unit director of a raise and upgrade in job status. I received a thank-you card from one of my c/w's. Comfortable interaction with my co-workers. My cases responded well. I received my first response from a law school - an acceptance letter. A good meal when I returned home.
All in all, a pretty good day today.
