Dawn's routine
My eyes hurt; I'm tired.
I need to eat. I don't want to eat anything.
I'm hungry.
I'm tired, I don't want to live.
I want to do a lot of things.
I need to study. I don't want to study.
I can't focus; I want to read.
I want to dive, I don't want to be on a boat.
I want to explore by not being the observer.
I want to know things, to have knowledge. I can barely go out of the house, rarely.
I want to find purpose, but I believe in God.
I want to find happiness, but I know it doesn't last.

Captures the human condition pretty well, I reckon. A life's assignment in the 'earth-school' is no easy thing. But if we keep on seeking, we keep on finding out new stuff about ourselves - which is as good a strategy as I know. :))

Thanks for the comment.
Everyday is full of possible discoveries. Even though life is so complex and sometimes it's a real struggle, the possibilities are worth it. It's hard to find motivation sometimes, especially when nihilism finds a home in you, but possibilities are still here for whatever outcome.

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it
The struggle and dilemma of not having the energy to do what needs to be done, the dynamic of finding yourself in everyday life, your purpose, your place, your meaning. We always seem to be in opposing angles.
