That feeling....
Yeah... you know what I'm talking about.
It's that feeling you get when you're pursuing something you love, running through a field of flowers in the summer air, watching a tree grow toward the sun come hell or high water.
Watching a plant lose a branch, only to replace it with another, as though it's only living purpose on this planet is to do exactly that.... to live... to grow... but most of all to overcome.
I guess we all decide how to live a bit differently, but in every one's life you can see the same pattern of happiness obtained through the chasing of dreams. I think they might even call that the "pursuit of happiness" since it does seem to be a bit more like a flowing river that can dry up occasionally, more than it seems like a constant which you can obtain forevermore. It obtains it's existence from our pursuit of it.
If we did not desire it... it would not exist.
I suppose desire is what happiness is really all about. I also suppose that if you don't get that, then you don't get life.... and what a shame to not get life, yet be condemned to repeat it until you do. How dark those days are when you cannot see tomorrow for fear that your happiness has left you forever.
What you don't know is that it's right around the corner my friend, just an earshot away... and waiting for you to call it back, that's all. It's just as close as you want it to be, without ever giving you more than you can handle. You just have to desire it the most....
Yes friends, I suppose it is my destiny to chase that feeling for as long as I possibly can. To see it on a daily basis and know that my time is spent well and without future regret. To regain a time in my life when I was able to see tomorrow and shed away the darkness that comes with those horrible feelings of mistakes made past. To look forward towards new opportunities, new fields to run through and new waterfalls to chase.... To never stop believing in that feeling....
....that feeling, that makes.... me.
Yes... I do... suppose.....
