The THING behind it all

Have you ever realized that emotions can drive you safely
…towards something you wouldn’t have achieved otherwise? Do you remember when you did something because you had so much anger and hate deep in your heart, that the only thing you could do to survive those stabbing emotions was to focus on something that you wanted to do, but lacked the motivation to do it?

…Do you remember when you started to work more because you rejected the idea of belonging to that wonderful working class which gets to an office, works their ass off and then gets by with a compulsive shopping spree every weekend? does this sound familiar?

…Do you remember that it used to drive you crazy and make you feel stupid – that your parents always took their time to explain you how things work for real, in life… and that… in opposition to that, you decided to just be yourself? And look at yourself now: you’re pretty fine, aren’t you?

Well there are things in life you cannot control
Such as emotions. Or motivation. Or desire, dreams and your own chatter inside your brain. And somehow, whether painful or uplifting, this emotional burden that you carry around with you… does somehow drive you somewhere. It’s like floating on this big ocean and you try to control ship with just a wheel and some hand-drawn map that you carry around… when you know you actually carry this weight with you and it makes the ship lean in one direction.

Oh well
The point is all these emotions come from somewhere. I don’t know… maybe a fight, maybe something went terribly wrong… it wouldn’t matter. But after the storm, you know your ship is heading something.

SO why not make it BIG this time?
