Do It with Passion or Not at All

It's always something of a surreal feeling knowing deep down in your heart that you were made for so much more than the ordinary. More often that not, people have made impressive comments about your person that perfectly agree with that unmistakable feeling in your bones that you have a remarkable destiny that's tailor-made for you to fulfil. And so you've grown to not be bothered when the average Joe fails to understand - let alone share - your opinion about certain concepts. How could he possibly comprehend your intellectual ability when he doesn't even understand how a perspective like yours is possible?

Please Impress Yourself

Let's talk about something that's been on my mind for quite a bit, shall we?

Is it just me or does anyone else ever wonder why we're generally so much more concerned with how impressive people perceive our lives to be than we are about actually leading better and more fulfilled lives? I mean, think about it. We’re super eager to take a myriad of pictures for Instagram just before a flight, or in front of those spotless fancy hotel bathroom mirrors (and no, ladies; it's not just you) and exotic condos and vehicles just so Facebook knows what’s on our minds. We’re relentlessly devoted to keeping up appearances on social media – whether it be through our photos and videos or via typed updates (oh yes, we type to impress too!) – just to prove to the world that we've at least got decent access to the finer things of life and are therefore better off than some other people. Do you ever ask yourself why we seem to think these things are necessary?
