content

being content is an interesting concept.

living life without over working or over thinking.

making micro progressions throughout.

yet you are aware something is lacking.

you feel as if you should be doing something more.

but what?

you fear that you will settle for less in the grand scheme of things.

you fear that you will not rise to your true potential.

you try to resolve this through conversation.

your discontentment of contentment.

you consult your peers.

yet no one has the answer you want.

you find that you desire the input of others.

you crave affirmation.

you try and hear them out.

but from the start you know where you stand.

you are left feeling discontent.
