That's very possible. As soon as I reach a goal, I'm focussed on the next one. It's like this relentless feeling that I have to keep progressing forward, and that eventually, if I keep progressing forward in these different areas in my life, I'll feel content and happy, but either I'm misunderstanding what drives me, or I've got unrealistic expectations of how I should feel once I reach a goal. Or perhaps it's because I know how much I'm capable of why I always feel like I need to reach my full potential.

It's a tricky one. I should be celebrating, but I'm already thinking ahead.

Perhaps an impertinent question, but why are you driving yourself forward in the first place? To better yourself? To prove something?

Let's get Freudian, here.


There was a period in my life where things were going really well for me, and for one reason or another things fell apart (I told you a bit about it not so long ago), and I had a period where life felt quite hopeless. After that something clicked and I suddenly felt very driven to succeed, as if something that I should have felt from the start had finally surfaced. Since then, I've been that way.

Intricate punishments made flesh, brought forth by the mysterious machinations of a strange and twisted God, should not be so cruel as to demand love where they only bring misery.

Maybe you're not delighted because you feel you should have already achieved these things.

Don't put any stock in my speculation, of course. I'm no therapist.

It helps to get a little outside perspective. I do feel like I'm behind, but then I'm very ambitious, so I'm probably going to feel that no matter how far ahead I am.
