in search of something new

[cherrymoo]

i really need something new. something to be interested by. something to look forward to. something that makes life a little bit different than the day before. a new friend? a new hobby? a dog? i don't think material possessions will cut it. i'm just sick of the routine that my life's become and, well, sick of some of the people in it too

i find that i constantly need something new... something out of the ordinary. but i've come to realize that no matter how extraordinary something or someone is, if you not ready to accept that, if you value newness, spice more than what you have in your life, you will always want. maybe this is growing up. if so, then i'm firmly not grown up. let me know when you figure it out... because the feeling makes me want to run off somewhere "exotic" ... everyday.

i think part of it has to do with never being satisfied. there's always faster, smarter, better...and when things are stagnant for a little while, i feel like i'm letting "good enough" be good enough. i guess i'm just a hyper-competitive perfectionist like that.

the other part of it has to do with people and how they fit into your life. it's not so much about the value of newness & spice, but about feeling discontent when, regardless of how extraordinary somebody is, *something* is not quite right. at least i think so, because there've been extended periods of time where everything felt right, and i never felt antsy at all.

the question is, are you good enough for faster, smarter, better?
arguably one should never let oneself settle, however as long as youre with someone who is also on the enless quest of self improvement, then you are both becoming...faster, smarter, better.
as far as life goes, theres no reason to feel stagnation. so long as you appreciate yourself, think for yourself, and stay productive, there will always be a myriad of things to do and learn. Always improving, always learning, never stopping or settling for less.
my 2 cents.

haha. first of all, let's set the record straight. i'm good enough for "fastest, smartest, and best". hehe. :-)

with that said, my original post wasn't really in reference to a person, but rather a general statement about everything in life. car, job, home, physical fitness, everything.

and i guess i am just driven by measures of improvement. if it's not tangible, i don't feel like i'm improving. :P
