Films, Press and a Whole Lot of Heartache

Work-wise things have never been better. Campaigns are getting approved, a film idea has developed into an ad and there's general harmony all around. But harmony is the most deceptive state in nature for it belies the struggles and turmoil that lie beneath the surface. Things are churning, and several relationships are undergoing a sea change, and not into- I fear- something rich and strange. Control or even direction will be difficult, scratch that, challenging (I'm trying to be positive here) to find but I have to do my best. As Shakespeare once wrote:

"There's a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads onto fortune.
On such a full sea are we now afloat.
And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures..."

As usual, I find myself at sea and with no rudder and no map, but one sketchily rendered in memory. I'm going to have to make the most of the tools at my disposal. In all spheres of life.
I've spent one and a half days trying to convince myself that Even actually likes me but is reluctant to get involved for some murky reasons (like he's afraid of relationships). It's not been a resounding success but my self-belief is not entirely shattered. Maybe he just needs time. Or a strong whack on the head. As JKJ once pointed out, these home remedies often work where other more sophisticated solutions fail. I shall hold out awhile though before I give that a shot. He might not appreciate it too much even if he does feel the same way.
