I have the coolest job ever!  On any given day, I can see the worst of society and the best of society.  It's incredible to see the people who have really screwed up their life.  I mean really.  Not just a little bit - murder, rape - bad shit.  Then i see the people they hurt.  the ones who really believe they wont get through whatever it is they are being put through.  The domestic violence victim who is completely ripped apart.  The family of the murder victim who is torn into pieces. The rape victim who is shattered. These people really believe that they are done and empty.  I see them in ways they cannot see.  I see their strength.  I see the resilience.  I see what they will become after this storm is over.  The coolest thing is when they come back to me after a time and I get to really see what they have become.  How that person did not destroy them, but actually made their lives better in some way.  The strength of the human spirit is amazing.  The power people actually have inside themselves - INCREDIBLE.  (remind me of this the next time you hear me wondering what i am doing in this life.)
