something i said in an email today that i'll open for discussion

Jan 04, 2010 21:37

There have been few things in my life I've wanted to badly I've had to strive for them. I'm not talking working and working hard -- life is WORK, it is HARD, and it is HARD WORK if you want to just have bits of freedom to be and do what you want. I've worked hard for the things I have and the place that I am, and I realize that, and I'm proud of it; and I realize my work has paid back. I'm not talking about that, because I won't say I necessarily hand-picked my destination with my own heart, just that I worked my ass to get there (somewhere): I'm talking about dreams.

I'm talking about goals, lofty or significant or whatever; paths you want to walk down, things your heart is targeting that are worth fighting against the strong current pulling you elsewhere. I'm talking about wanting a thing so badly it tastes like metal and alcohol in your mouth.

I don't have a lot of those type of experiences. I'm not sure whether this makes me lucky (because it means I already have the things I want) or pathetic (because I have no dreams or desires worth taking risks for).

Tell me your thoughts.

On a happier note, someone said a happy-making and very awesome email to me today, and it made my day. :) ♥
