what drives you
Today was good. Got a free haircut from this guy I met at a wig store who’s training to work at Mizu in midtown. Took a javascript class whilst drinking asahi at GA. And picked up my first tv purchase with roomie after work. The dude we bought the vizio from ended up being a headhunter for web developers and mentioned I should hit him up if I’m looking for something. This city’s randomness will never stop amazing me.
And now my thought rant.
These past 4 months I’ve been on an adrenaline high. I’ve felt this before but it was driven by something else. I’ve had the intense opportunity to be driven by passion. Different kinds: passion to convey culture, create community, bring transparency to economic injustice, etc.
Now I’m being driven by ambition. I feel it - I want to know more, learn more, experience all for the sake of absorbing it. Not to fix the world, but to develop myself into a person who can fix the world when it comes time. It’s odd every other time i’ve felt this rush it’s been for the end goal of doing something great.
There’s always a transition…where it’s ambition I’m going off on for until I realize the injustice or wrongs in the system, and it’s passion that picks up from there. I just hope this time that transition is sooner rather than later.
