I think I may have figured something out. I think I know what people... want.
See, some may say that people strive for success, or love, or a sense of meaning or usefulness. I think that people just want to feel special. That kind of encompasses all of the things that people seem to want and sums it all up. I want to feel special, and when I don't feel like I'm special or if I don't feel as though I give something to a person that other people don't give him or her, well, that's when I feel small and insignificant.
Okay okay. So I know you're going to say "no one can MAKE you feel any way. You're responsible for your own feelings." True, very true. But I will feel special when I'm inspired to do so. Or better yet, I should say that I feel special unless or until someone does something to actually help me feel otherwise.
And who ever came up with the idea to make cereal and milk AND a glass of orange juice part of a complete breakfast? All I can think about is how the orange juice is inside my stomach, curtling the milk. Ugh.
And on that note...
All right, funseekers, time to start another day.

There has to be some middle ground, a compromise. Where we can shoot for our dreams, without abandoning the things we truly love, the ones we truly love, and who love us equally in return. What good is it to be ruler of the world when you have no one to share it with?
