(from inside myself...)
Do you enjoy this, the life you are living?
How did you know that this is what you were supposed to do?
I mean, I’ve always believed that we start out with certain inclinations,
That ideally, of course,
We pursue, make careers out of…
Find fulfilment in…
Those were the things we were supposed or meant to do.
I used to dream about a lot of things…
Things that I thought were important to me,
Important to my life….
Dreams.
Lots of them.
But the years go by,
And the dreams you dreamed about….
They never showed up.
So,
What did I do then?
Things. Stuff. Whatever.
For more than 60 years, maybe more…
And then I did something else.
What did I do?
I don’t know.
I really don’t know.
I’m still working on that.
I’m still learning.
