“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

Just Living? Or LIVING Living?

I was thinking today.

Just about life.

Everyday I got o work. I'm doing this job which isn't really a career for me - just something to pass the time. On average, I go on a trip twice a month. Every month, I blow every penny of my salary. i'm learning something new everyday.

But am I LIVING? I don't know. Today I've just been in this daze. Like a routine. I'm not like woohoo happy. But I'm not unhappy. I'm just.....here. Sometimes I feel like I know exactly what I'm doing. Other times, I haven't got a clue. I am just here. Doing these things. Day after day.

That's not LIVING right? That's just EXISTING. But I don't feel like I'm just EXISTING because I DO things. But at the same time, I feel like I'm missing something. Something that would make everything perfect. Well, that wouldn't be just SOMETHING. That would be a lot of things.

It's so hard to actually measure the extent of one's happiness. Different things make different people happy. What makes me happy? Well, right now - travelling. After that, I don't really know. You pursue things that you think will make you happy, only to discover they do the opposite.

And I read back over this and realise that I have made no sense. Gomen.

It's just my stream of thought.

This happens to me all the time!

The verdict is...9 times out of ten, one is living. Then there are the off days the 1 that your just existing.
These days come and go and there really isnt much one can do about them.
