wanting deeply

I want deeply to tell you about the things on my mind. My agony over what to do with my brain for a living. The burns of long-planted pain. The creeping suspicions I have about this and that.

But at the end of the day, I close my eyes. Those stories unwritten. The plans not made.

And that's mediocrity.

i disagree, only because i've been testing my own ambitions recently. because you have greater desires demonstrates that you care deeply about them. they may be unrealized at this point, but i don't think that's b/c of mediocrity. i think it's exhaustion, busyness, or even hibernation. time spent planning, dreaming, and hoping isn't necessarily wasteful, but it's often necessary.
