and I'll wear my pearls

What is the most important thing in life? I think everyone says they want to be happy. Happiness however, means different things to different people. It could be about making a lot of money, being someone of high stature, growing old with the person you love most or maybe having the best of everything. I'm in that stage of life where I have to decide how much if everything I want. Money is nice, no kidding about that. If I had a lot of money, I probably wouldn't work anymore. I might so something that has been in my mind for a long time- travel to countries that I can open schools. And maybe if I'm qualified, do some preaching. Not many people believe that I will actually go through with my plan. I can see why they feel that way. Whatever the case, I feel I can only do this when I actually have money.

A recent UN report said that people who live under US$2 are in extreme poverty and need immediate assistance. Contrary to this was an article I once read in BTG about a group of people in Ukraine who live on less than US$2 a day and looked like the happiest people I've ever seen. Best part was that they had come there from all over the world to live as such. So, my problem seems more like a lack of guts.

I feel so emotionless these days. U have no drive nor passion. I try to be satisfied with what I have but I know this is not the best life I can give myself. What I want would probably drive my parents nuts and who knows, they could disown me. My friends would probably never understand, not because they don't want to but because they belong in a very different world from mine. So right now, I'm not happy or sad. Just living. But u know what, I'm way better than this. I'll find my happiness.
