Look At All The People...

[hantsbear]

As I walk home from work, I look at the people in the traffic in their cars, all seemingly successful (well, they can all drive; one thing I can't do) and wonder about how much better their lives are.  But are they?  For all I know they could be on the way home to an abusive partner; to kids they can't control; to a dying relative; to liver and bacon again s/he knows how much I hate that...

And I realise that I only think they are better off than me.  I don't know what their life is like.  Yes, I think my life is a mess right now and it's going to take a long, long time to get back to where I was.  Or so it seems.  I don't know - hell, we could all be consumed by a black hole on Wednesday.

I also have this vague sense of un-tapped potential within me.  Potential for what, I have absolutely no idea; it is too heavily squashed underneath several tonnes of emotional baggage, but it's there somewhere.  What could it possibly achieve if allowed to fly free?

I agree. I know many people who seem to "have it all" that sacrificed their very souls for material gain. And while they have nice homes and cars and "toys", they're miserable!

Oh, and you've had a LJ for 6 years and made only one post. Start posting and entertaining us!
