my problem in life is that i've always been insatiable, not easily satisfied, easily amused (but then again easily bored).
the one thing i've learned from all of my growing pains and psychedelic experiences is that i am my own universe, and if i compare my life to the lives of others, i will always come short in one respect or another. or at least appear to come short. in reality, i can only see snippets of other people's lives (happy drunken, facebook photos; laminated season's greetings cards received before christmas) and people tend to highlight the good and leave the bad lurking in the shadows. i am learning, learning, and learning still to just be content with my own world, and to not compare myself with others. such comparisons are never valid; things in my universe have no counterpart in someone else's universe. and besides, such comparisons only breed insecurities. to love and to be loved--yes, i think that should be enough.
