Rants Before Homework

What does it take to be content?

I see people every day, working hard to meet expectations, accomplish goals and tasks, continuing to pulvault over the rising the bar of their ambicious high-jumps in life. Every day we (yes, we) go through life jumping higher and higher, running faster and faster, working harder and harder, bringing ourselves to an emotional exaughstion and burnout. Then we crash and wonder why. We wonder why we are tired, cranky, anxious, annoyed, and left with a feeling of little to no accomplishment.

Why is it that we cannot see that who we are and what we have to give is enough? Why can we not just embrace the fact that there are some things where we are strong, and there are other aspects of life where we are weak? Where we are weak, someone is strong. Where we are strong, someone is weak. We are all in this together, whether we realize it or not. LET'S REALIZE IT! COME ON PEOPLE!

More than anything I guess I want to realize this all myself. I want to be content with who I am, what I have to give, what I have to accept, and what I exist in. I want to be content with this chapter of life. There is no reason to be anything but content. Yet, this is where I sit - at a table in a coffee shop, procrastinating on completing the homework I am lucky enough to have, complaining about not being content.

So what does it take? When will I be?
