Drive. What moves us foreword.
Our heart’s desire, what causes us to act for what we want most in this world. It’s never lost, not forever anyways.

It might be hiding, waiting to see if you’ll come looking.
It might be up so high that when you reach the top, you realize that it’s not there, it never was, and you come down.  
Maybe, it’s just shy.
Maybe, it’s in that annoying shadow that follows you but can never be caught.
But at the same time, a shadow never goes away – only seems to disappear when we turn around.

What is life without this search?

We were made to chase things. We have two legs and opposable thumbs that let’s me know so.
So why should our drive and our passion defy these rules.
Fun fact : They don’t.

Believing is seeing.
Or
Is seeing believing?

But, I don’t think there’s a difference.
I believe in the way the sun always chases the day, and I wake up every morning seeing that it’s still out there searching.  I wake up and fall asleep to that light pink sky skewed with a golden assurance that there is something out there.
There’s something bigger,.
Something so unexplainable that can only be heard
in the silence.


So, maybe, your drive has plainly gone missing. But, maybe, it’s gone so you can chase it.
