what are we chasing?

what's the point of it all? what are some of the goals and experiences we must have as young 20-somethings? things that if were to pass by us unnoticed, would be described as a loss and time we could never have back?

i don't know. sometimes i think i'm satisfied with what i have, sometimes there's this unfulfilled void that i have no idea how to fill. am i satisfied because people tell me that i'm satisfied? that i have what many do not, that i have opportunities lying in my path that others desire?

i wish i didn't have responsibilities. not a care in the world, to do as i wish for even just one fleeting day. then maybe i'll truly discover myself. to let go.

but i'll never be able to have that. there's too much at stake, too much to hurt. it might not be worth it. maybe i'll have to keep it inside.
