Some building.

It's tough to take in the very moment you realize you don't deserve something. It's tough, but God dang it it's astounding too. It's that final brick in the building you've worked on. Most of "us" are just looking for a place to rebuild, or build a brick building. These are brick buildings that you already see in your head after you caught a glimpse of what they could have been, or looked like after stumbling upon them randomly. When you get enough guts to make an offer, you might get one back. You might also get the go-ahead that comes with the hazy client. Nonetheless you're looking for somewhere to start this project. No matter what happens next, we all seem to forget that the building will more than likely come to it's final brick. Your job is to either finish the building well enough so that it can stand on it's own, or continually find ways for the building to be in the best interest of the client. It's all about your client and the people that will interact with them, or their building.
When you land your first real client excitement pours over the blueprints, so much so that sometimes you just start building and simply forget about the now 'hard to read' blueprints. As days are passing the client will come by from time to time showing their hesitancy as to how the structure is starting to get off of the path they had imagined in their mind, so you might have to backtrack and rebuild from time to time. Although rare, there are times when you add certain things during the build that the client prefers and enjoys. Sometimes weather permits you from building.. so the building sits the way it is, half-built and vulnerable to anything the world has ready to shake it up. Days off from building can turn into vacations that seem too comfortable and long..usually this means when the building starts again it's rather tough to pick back up, but you do(or try to) nonetheless.
Towards the end of construction you and the client will go over final preparations to make sure nothing else is to be added. If the client is satisfied/happy(enough) and you're on course with the same idea that the two of you are reading off of the tattered and crinkled blueprints, then with no questions the last brick is finally placed on the others before him, it's over. This giant structure that you were apart of from beginning to end is now finished and you have to give the new keys to the owner, get all your materials back from inside the building, make sure the client is sure with it, make sure you're happy with it, and then let it go. It's easier said than done. You just put important parts of your life into this structure, be it massive or small, that you'll now just check in on from time to time to make sure it's staying together. You'll also surely pass by it every once in awhile.. no choice. All you can do is smile and watch all of the amazing things that are happening with this finished building that you got to be apart of.
You deserved the hours you spent drawing up plans. You deserved the memories that will soon only be heartwarming to only you. You deserved the pain, sweat and tears you poured all over the project. You deserved the time you spent building, and you deserved your final brick, if it comes to that. However, if it does come to your final brick; you do not deserve to be there with your building as it does its highest level of life changing, and wonderful events. It's okay to only be a piece of the beautiful puzzle.
Some people will just continue to keep building all of these smaller buildings all over the place, just getting by. Some people get taken over by a better company. Some get pulled in every direction before they land a deal to start. Some only get halfway finished and the building is left abandoned, and some people spend their entire lives trying to land their first contract. There is, yet a constant built. It plainly takes more work and effort. It's full of continuous changing that the client and builder will see eye to eye on until one of them dies. But not everyone can be a skyscraper. The final brick is good..it's good enough. Working on a skyscraper is ongoing humbleness between two giving folks.
