it's funny, most of my friends from high school are out chasing these gigantic dreams of theirs... and they're miserable. everyone always gave me shit when i always answered the question "what are your goals?" with "to be happy." they'd say "well, what do you want to do?" and i'd say "that's it, be happy." why do i need some GOAL to achieve in order to be happy. i don't know what i am going to want in 20, 10, 5, or even 1 year. i know what makes me happy hear and now. and yes, living this way i may never have a mansion or be able to travel all over the world. but i could spend the rest of my life in central massachusetts and never see everything there is to see. i'll take me $27,000 a year job that i love over the $40,000 a year office job i'd hate. i'll take the $500 apartment that leaves me with plenty of drinking money over the super nice apartment. i'll take the unplanned see-where-the-fuck-we-end up weekend road-trips over trips to venice. why is it so hard to understand that someone elses ideal life may not be the same as yours. there is nothing wrong with taken life moment to moment and enjoying the little things. so here's my life plans. i vow to be happy, wherever i am with whoever i am there with. i vow to keep my sense of adventure. and i vow to always appreciate what i have.
