I'm just pursuing my quixotic, and probably unrealistic, ideas of happiness.

I'm chasing my dreams, if you will.

I c wat u did ther

Quixotic, I just caught that one. <:lolz:480186121897377792>

lmao, I'm using quixotic in the literal sense

Ah

Not that badass M.O.O.N. song. lol

Chasing money and success is dangerous

who said I was doing that?

If you're an entertainer maybe.

If you're doing what I'm doing then it's just surefire and accomplishing, at the end of the day.

Success is relative

Something measured differently by every person

110k a year seems pretty universal.

1 Timothy 2:12 - But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

You believe youre a failure if you make less than that?

My idea of happiness is just making a few people happy, I guess.

I believe you'd be successful with that kind of pay. Not to say that you're a failure, but rather that you're undeniably a success.

Mm

30k a year with no family as a guy, in my opinion, is successful as well.

It's not really about financial success.

I just want to feel fulfilled

I'm tired as fuck, if you couldn't tell

Cybersecurity kills two birds with one stone for me, so I don't really lose.

@[chase dreams] fulfillment is alot like happiness imo

It comes and goes

I'm aware

I haven't felt fulfillment in a while. as edgy as that sounds

That's why you strive for accomplishment and not fulfillment. You can feel fulfilled after eating a whole pizza, but what did you accomplish? On the other hand, you can feel accomplished after having finally mastered your skill at playing guitar. One is fleeting, like you said, and the other is practical and ever lasting

Yes

Goddamn, I sound like some depressed 14 year old goth chick

However realize that the process is something you have to love too

Not just the final result

No Panic! at the Disco, so you're not quite there yet. <:lolz:480186121897377792>

Yeah lol do you have a passion project your working on?

Yes

And any process worthwhile has shitty moments about it

I'm not a 14 year old depressed goth chick
I'm an 18 year old depressed highschool boy who's tired as fuck.

lol

Are u avoiding something youd like to start doing
