So much has already happened in so short a time. I don’t even know where to start. Maybe not even bothering covering the short past is best. But 2 things have really made me happy the past few weeks. My wakeboarding trip and my surfing trip. Funny, cuz as a little boy i had always watched TV and seen all these big boys surfing and wakeboarding etc. I didnt think that at any point, i’d be doing it pretty well.
I for one am surprised at the way things in my life are going. As i move up in the world and earn a living, it seems that new experiences keep opening up for me to try. Given my personality, i’d try them all almost and get addicted to a few. But these hobbies are not cheap. There are so many things I want to buy, i want to do, places i want to go. All involve money, money, money. The more you get to afford, the more you crave for more. Hence the trap of materialism.
For a while, most things didnt matter, only music and expression. How is it that in less than a year, so many other things have also become important? Maybe they are just experiences, or releases of stress or vacations form work. But in the end, nothing seems to satisfy. Is this the human condition? To forever want and long for things they don’t have, yet tire of those they do, in exchange for more or something new.
