the answer is still the same

tini21:

on january 2, 2011, Nick (amble) posed this personal question: “What do you want more than anything?”

the following is a short conversation regarding this:

a burning desire to…

amble:

Dear Tini21,

I was wondering if anyone would turn my question around on me.

I think more than anything I want to make the love of my life happy and earn enough to support us by doing something I love. I want to have lots of adventures (and cameras).

But most of all,

I really just don’t want to take anything for granted. Not the pain, not the joy, not anything. Ever.

thank you Nick for your reply to my question of your original question. reading your response makes me want to be a better human

on january 1, 2012, almost 1 year later, i still strive for it

Wow thanks for bringing this up again! Rereading this was like a bath with cold water while I’m still half asleep. These are definitely still  goals I strive for, and probably always will, but I keep having to hit myself to remember that last part. I’ve definitely taken some things for granted, gotten used to certain ways of living that could only be temporary, expecting things are owed to me when they aren’t, and every time I catch myself I think, hey, as soon as I start taking the small things for granted it’s a slippery slope to suddenly realizing I’m old and what the hell happened in the last 50 years? Some people think I’m stupid the way I’m living, moving out to a foreign country, working meaningless jobs to pay the bills, but one thing I know is that even though it isn’t always flowers and I’ve endured plenty of stresses, I always know I’m living. And for me, it’s the small things that make the everyday amazing. So let’s make 2012 count :)
