I was up all night last night cause of the hurricane and the rain so I was laying in my bed doing some thinking and self-reflection, which I always do before I sleep or in the shower.
What I have come up with is that I really don't care for materials, wealth, fame, recognition, none of that. Pretty much my whole life I wanted to be rich and I knew I could be, and I still do want to be rich. But I don't want to keep any of that money... just buy a car or two. That's all I want, I don't care for the big house, nice clothes, fancy dinners, just the man-made machines.
I've found that I'm much happier when I see other people happy, not on some brown-nosing business but just making a difference in peoples' lives and showing that just cause we don't know each other doesn't mean that I can't treat you like my brother. I'm trying to get rid of most of my shoes right now, sell my electronics, my bike, all I need is my ipod and I can have a great day. I don't know, but if I had real money I'd want to give it away, I see a ton of good people in the world that want things they can't afford, I just want to be able to show them that you can have what you dream about... and give them what they want that I don't care for.
I don't really know what to think of this. I'm afraid to let myself go and just enjoy life because I know I can do that without any money. I could work a minimum wage job and still be as happy as I would, maybe even more happy than if I had a bunch of the latest stuff. But at the same time, I don't dare let myself do that because I want/need a challenge and I'm afraid of not living up to my potential. It's not that I'm dumb and can't get a good job, I think I'm pretty smart and I do well in school.
But the money won't do anything for me. To me, it's all about the people I meet and I can change and show love to. I want to show others that while people might seem selfish and cold it's not like that and we're all together in this.
I really don't know what to think. I was very relaxed when I thought of all this and it's been on my mind a lot the past few days, I just thought I'd share.
There are no cliffs either, if you don't want to read it then don't add your opinion.
