Wanting
We all need a drive to move us forward
The need for more
Quantity or quality
More times, more people, more fucks, more toys, more extreme versus more time, more connection, more exploration, more simplicity
It can be argued that to discover what you want you need to try out all that is offered, seek different partners in crime and experiment to see what works and doesn’t work for you
And what does not work, you leave behind and try something new
And I agree
But are you truly living the experience in that moment or just looking ahead to the next event in your mind
It is true that time is short and you have to live while you can, but time is limited either way
You cannot live all in one lifetime
And that is a fact
Life is made of choices
You can choose to jump from stone to stone, barely touching it, or you can walk on it, slowly and step by step
Both will take you to your destination, whatever that may be
True enjoyment comes not just from the arrival but from the journey there
You should move quickly if you are doing something you don’t like
You should move slowly if you are enjoying it, savoring every second as it was your last
Fruits grow in the tree without you pointing and shouting at it
All you have to do is give it time and care and they will grow on its own
What you have to do is wait
When you find a good tree
What makes a good tree, you might ask
It is not only the fruit
But it is the shape, the smell and the shade it can provide when you lean over it, that makes you feel good and at home, even when you are not biting the fruit
The fruit only lasts for a season
The tree can last a lifetime
You can jump from tree to tree, trying every fruit, if they exist
But the more you pick, the more you will be picky
And no fruit will taste good for you
And if after all that effort to choose, you can finally choose the one you like best
Someone will be there under the shade
Make the best possible choice
That is what I want from you
