Eternal Restlessness

**thehigher** · 09-01-2009, 08:13 PM

Once I get what I want I get restless. There is always more; always more feelings to pursue. Because I am so focused on what is possible, I am not content with what is. This is frustrating me to no end, because I wonder....is their anything that can hold my projections? Is there anything out there that can live up to what I make it out to be? Must I be teased in order to be comfortable? I long for something .... naturally my search for this mysterious ideal automatically puts it out of reach. Maybe I should explore my sensing side. Maybe I should become grounded in what is in the here and now. Dunno. I have posted similar things like this before; forgive me. I am just really annoyed at this little pickle I am in.

I get the same way man, i find if i just keep some sort of side project that has a never ending goal I'm generally content with my day to day shit. know there is something i need to improve on my projects.

maybe you should focus on money... and once you get that, you get everything

I don't think it's a bad thing, this unreachable, always beckoning, ideal... it keeps one moving... I think the trick is to enjoy what you have even as you keep your dreams alive. Gratuity helps, like, think about everything you're grateful for, even if you're haunted by what else there might be. Good luck.

I think it especially sucks in a relationship. Cause you are so enthused and enamored by the person.... and then things are fine.... and it's like..... what now?

@thehigher: on the topic of relationships, i think you are addicted to the emotional ups and downs. The intensity of it, that distracts you from making permanent choices and doubting yourself. and when it is all good and serene you are bored and numb.
This is something i observed with many NFPs. You need to search within for what you really want and find your ups and down outside of the relationship. Do a dangerous job for instance, serve food to warzone people.
Happiness is only real when shared.
