Just beautiful! It's so important to acknowledge both sides of the coin; to appreciate and enjoy the good knowing it never exists without the 'bad'.
I made this mistake in my younger years, in relation to my vocation - I believed that if something was my 'true' passion, I will love every minute of my work and everything will be a delight and breeze; based on the saying 'if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life - which I now realise, is a fairytale. Nothing worthwhile comes without sacrifice and struggle and all jobs come with an aspect of dread - no matter how much passion you have. I learned this one the hard way lol.
