Driver

What makes a person happy and propels them forward?

Fame? – is fickle and so tiring to maintain. You reach unspeakable highs but drop to extreme lows if you lose it. A meaningless chase.

Fortune? – is fleeting. Money can buy you a lot of things, but emotional fulfillment, I’m still not convinced.

Adventure? – is a temporary high. I sought this drug out before and took refuge in the sense of escape I got from traveling to new places. But when you return from these holidays, it’s as if you never even left at all. You’re right back where you started.

Cynical post of the day. Sorry about that. This mood stems from what I foresee in my immediate life. Certain moments are getting me more money and more notoriety. I also plan on travelling a lot in 2012. These are all fun and good in theory, although I find myself reflecting on the significance of these things in the long-run.
