Is the grass greener where you water it? Or is the other side really gonna be better?
I feel like I’ve gone in a big circle
Only to arrive at the same place, almost empty handed
From here it feels like I can still go anywhere
But where to now?
What do I really want?
What actually matters?
Who am I?
Who do I want to be?
What do I want to do?
I don’t know if I want to settle here, or break everything down to go elsewhere.
Perhaps travel and just go where my soul desires.
Should I chase more experiences?
Or stay focused and build solid assets I could rely on in the future?
A mixture of both?
Do I go live in a car for a couple of months and just explore around?
Do I go to Bali and just figure it out from there? Get a yoga certification? Do a silent retreat and heal all my wounds?
Or do I stay put and become more of a power player? Generate more cash, get some land/real estate and settle down for a bit before traveling on?
Do I stop being reasonable and have wild experiences? Just call you at 7 P.M to come over and sneak into your bedroom?
Do I stay a good girl — stop fantasizing about nonsense and just be in one relationship, get married, get the house, get the car and just live a wholesome life with a maxed out ROTH IRA, contributing to the 401k, some stocks and the real estate investment increasing in value?
Do I break up with my partner and then just go on a wild soul search, spend time alone, finally write a book, cry alone every evening and put all my energy into growing a YouTube channel?
Do I release all control and let life surprise me?
Do I let a little more time pass before I make any decisions?
Do I try to do a little bit of everything without making too many extreme choices?
I dunno….
What is it all for anyway?
What’s the point anyway?
What matters anyway?
Is the way we feel more important than the stuff we gain?
Or is being actualized in BOTH feeling and external reality the TRUE crème de la crème?
I gotta be honest with you, I want both.
I want to feel fulfilled internally and externally. Right now I feel like I am half full. I still have some way to go.
Some say I should just be happy with the journey. “The journey is the prize” is what I heard today.
And man, that resonated. THIS moment is all we ever have. We gotta find the joy in the present. Not in some future.
BUT I FUCKING KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING MORE AND HIGHER HERE FOR ME
I keep searching and yearning for it
and then judging myself for not “enjoying the journey” because I want to get THERE so bad
but perhaps the real pain is in judging myself for wanting — I can WANT and let it be that my present is indulging in the feeling desire
There is something quite titillating about being in desire – being in wanting — but not in the sense of lack (because when we are lacking, it doesn’t feel good: ie. lacking food/lacking resources)
I’m talking about the type of desire that is on the upper floor of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
Anyway, I’m digressing.
What am I even saying?
Gosh, I deeeeeply desire to transcend my current playing field. I want to be vibrating at a higher frequency. I want to feel greater heights of pleasure. Joy. Beauty. Abundance. Peace. Support. Connection. Love. And from this FULL ASS FUCKING CUP, I want to give back to everything I could touch.
But how do I get there?
I don’t know. I’m still on the journey to find out.

Today I met with a special someone. Someone with beautiful eyes and a sweet soul.
For a second I had this sense of what it would look like to achieve the goal. To achieve the things I’m after and for it all to materialize and actualize. And it felt both beautiful and also like “aw, it’s the end of the book.” The end of the story.
You ever get to the end of a movie/book/show and you’re both amazed but also kinda sad that now it’s over? Yeah. That’s what it felt like.
So now I’m on this vibe that I should enjoy the journey more and be less focused on the destination.
But, I don’t know what to prioritize at the moment — you know?
What actually does matter?
Sigh.
Will you give me a clue?
Damn, this was a long one. If you’re still here — you’re the real MVP. You are the one I have dreamed of writing for. Thank you.
Cheers to our biggest, boldest, wildest, most beautiful, exhilarating life!
