Boring by complication.

[tsumik]

I really hate to point sunshine in my direction but:

I've just realized alot of the things I've quit or abandoned have 99% been cause I've been really bored with them. I love the challange, the competition and the defiance when told something is difficult or even impossible. An incredible relationship, engineering, web design, the military, getting accepted to an Ivy league school, piano, and soon I fear... photography. It's not that I fear success but I think more so that I fear it being my only success. As strange and retarded that sounds I just hope someday I'll find something that makes me go "ok you did this so now lets just stay here instead of rushing off to the next thing"

Sometimes being talented and smart I think becomes the chains that define ones own prison. I think this post card on postsecret sums it up pretty well...
