When you want everything in the world and these things seem so unreachable for the majority of your life what is your reaction when your goals are obtained? Once filled with aspiration and hope, aspirations have vanished and the hope once had has been misplaced. If these goals don't exist then is what you have enough?
Certainly many say that when you get what you want, you no longer want what you have. But surely this is not the case. Is consideration to the next lists of wants really necessary? Media constantly portrays my generation as a hungry society yearning for what they don’t have. My question for the media is where is the publicity for the girl who worked so hard to achieve her wants? My position is a simple one. Not only should our gaze be fixed on a horizon in the distance but this same gaze needs to be shifted every now and then.
I am in a position that I could have only ever dreamed of five years ago. Goals obtained, dreams realized, wishes fulfilled. Prayers even heard and answered. Do I now set my sights on bigger and better things or is this an act of selfishness, greed? Is what I have simply enough? Though grateful for the things that now fill my life I still yearn to revaluate the space that they fill? Obviously something’s I will not let escape my grasp but even so does my grip need to be loosened in order for the remainder to breathe? Is there an unfortunate space of your life where you wait for the next phase to come and gifts grace the spaces that need to be filled? Are all of the endless questions worthless, perhaps more problematic than not thinking at all? Maybe one should just be content and live in this moment without looking back.
