“Restlessness and discontent are the first necessities of progress.”
| — | Thomas Alva Edison |
Have you ever felt restless? A paralyzing restlessness that begins to consume you? A feeling that you are not where you need to be? No? Just me?
Lately, I have felt this overwhelming desire for....something more. Restless.
Now, I am not like Mr. Edison thinking restlessness and discontent are steps to progress. I am more like "What the hell is happening?". I do not know how to reconcile this in my head, A need for something more. But, what?
I recently saw a picture of a compass and had a thought that my internal compass has broken. Then I think that maybe, for the first time in my life, my compass is working. Maybe, I am starting to figure out where I am supposed to be. Maybe, I am full of crap? I have no idea.
I have been writing. I have found a friend that inspires words from me that somehow rearrange themselves beautifully. Maybe one day I will share these words with the world. Maybe I won't. Right now, it is so personal that I don't want to reveal that much of myself.
I am not sure why I wrote this blog post. It really isn't saying anything of worth.
Restless? Yes.
Broken? A little.
Hopeful? Always.
