The overall message about failing but never giving up was good but the execution was lacking for me.The main character seemed to engulf the idea of never being good enough and was ad nauseam being too redundant throughout the story.
Journalism has progressed over the years from fact finding to being first to proclaim the gospel of the day w/o care or concern for facts.
It's a dog eat dog world that's become so cut throat that even those of us like myself with a masters are pondering how we are sidelined unable to get work.
So yes, I get the notion of feeling dread and never finding our true calling but for me this was all over the place with career, romance, and personal reflections and not direct enough to stick with it till the end.
The toxicity in journalism is not for the faint of heart and thick skin is certainly needed.
It's the new era of being replaceable and easily dispensable and no longer a career of seniority or leadership.
Chasing tails is all too familiar and finding your spot in line may be harder than it initially appears.
It was a quick and short read that I hope finds you well.
