Today, I did what I could. Well, I did what I could convince myself to do, which turned out to be closer to all I could do in this heat than I'd thought it would be.

So, today I did what I could. It wasn't enough. I have to find ways to make it enough.

I get so tired. All I want--I begin a sentence with "All I want" and then the cosmos fragments as the sentence ends a million ways. All I want right now is a chance to sleep. All I want is to be awake. All I want is a good life. All I want is a peaceful death. All I want is a healthy body. All I want is a brilliant mind. All I want is a home of my own, true love, a cruise around the world, an endless supply of chocolate. Any sentence beginning with "All I want" is a lie: I want it all. So even though our circumstances differ, I'm pretty much like the rest of you malcontents in the end.

You already have a brilliant mind. And I can be your true love if you want. My true love spot is currently opened!

All *I* want is for CB to realize she rocks and feel better.

My true love spot is currently opened!

Eeeeeheeheeheeheeheee!

There's only one way for a pervert like me to read that. I'm sorry.

HAH!

That was fair enough. I left that door wide opened.

Oh I said wide opened. Dammit...I'll never win.

I was gonna respond to Zoopie's comment, but I'm pretty much speechless with giggling right now.

I hope you're feeling better now. Please let us know when you get back!

A lot. . .

Yes, you are indeed like us malcontents-- not always satisfied with everything. Then again, wouldn't it be strange if a person was?

Well, there's a difference between having goals and having cravings, you know? It's good to want to achieve more, to want to get more out of life. It's not so good if you're feeling sure that you are fated to be miserable until you've gotten X, Y, and Z--especially when X, Y, and Z are things not under your full control.

kisses fellow malcontent on cheek, then brakes something valuable and screams like a dirty punk!!!

All I want is everything - its a good place to start :)

Heh. Where's the finish line?

Who did that great song a few years back: "I want it all and I want it now"?

[hummingwolf.livejournal.com]

Not sure--are you thinking of an old Queen song, maybe?

[a3hourtour.livejournal.com]

That could be... but isn't that the policy of the day?

believe

believe
in yourself
in your dreams
in your abilities
you already have it all
believe
and you will achieve what you conceive

Re: believe

Sorry, I don't buy it. There are things not under our control to believe that mere belief will get you everything. Not that a total disbelief is helpful--no, belief is much better than that! But sometimes you have to accept the life of a finite being, no matter how much you believe it should be otherwise.
