hungry like a wolf
Little tidbit I read today that resonated:
Rich people, in some cases and under certain circumstances, can make very poor role models. People that want for nothing. They have.
And the media has sold us this dream, over and over again. And some of us seem to have bought it.
The thing is, I am hungry.
I want to live and feel and hurt. I don’t understand anything else. I have more dreams than I have tommorows.
For all this time, we’ve thought that not being hungry was a luxory. But what I’m telling you is that being hungry is the most satisfying delight that life has to offer
This is how I’ve been feeling lately too. Hungry for life. And feeling sick of the Resistance that, through distraction and procrastination, keeps me from feeding the hunger. It’s so easy to get distracted in this crazy world. It’s amazing to me that anyone finds their calling and does their work. That alone is probably justification for the existence of a Soul.
Whenever I meet you, we each smile.

"But who is it who drags your corpse around?"
I often asked myself this question, using both the present and future verb tense.
