Along with other quirks, that thought was at the core of my apathy. Everything appears empty when the end result determines value. We overlook the importance of everyday occurrences and the people around us; and without recognizing that, there's no light to be found.

I looked at the world through neutral eyes and found every answer I wanted, yet there was nothing after that. I gave myself a new aim time and time again, but my focus always wavered. Only after finding something worthwhile in daily life, did I really move forward from that point.

It's common for people to work towards a goal, but true strength doesn't rely on a distant dream; rather, that dream draws strength from your present passion. Finding that alone is a challenge of it's own, but keep an open heart and look at things for what they are. The more you experience, the better you know yourself, and what you want from life.
