Consumption over Creation

As long as I have one seriously challenging project on the go, I’m happy.

It genuinely surprises me that many of my fellow citizens feel just the opposite.

Boredom is satiated in other ways. The stress outweighs the benefits. The energy required to think. The fear of failure. The disinterest in the new. The perceptions of others. Not fitting in. 

But ultimately, it’s a matter of consumption over creation.

One keeps you alive but the other makes life worth living.
