The Chase

Ever wanted something so bad that you'd do anything and everything just to get it? Sometimes you'd do anything in your will, possession or power to somehow get your "happily ever after" or "mission accomplished". For some reason at the back of your mind you know that the journey will be worth it in the end, no matter how much you have to sacrifice or save, somehow it'll all work out. You see it constantly, hoping one day you'll get it.. because patience is a virtue, right? Apparently, the best things in life are free, yet we still manage to put a price on the things that are worth more than any number could ever justify. Some people claim to say that "we want what we can't have" and just maybe I've fallen into the category of 'some people'. The lingering, the attraction, the beauty, the joy.. the apparent instant gratitude or happiness is appealing. Have we fallen so far that we create our own subconscious or subliminal marketing? We chase after 'the finer things' in life, stuck on the wanting and planning on how we'll get it. Although 'it' is not sold in stores, we're caught red-handed in our false accusations. Is the wanting really worth it? Maybe it's about having a goal or fantasy or even an ingredient to an ideal life. Maybe it's the thriving force that keeps individuals sane. Maybe it acts as a compass, pointing in the right direction. Maybe it's a spark to a new revelation. But whatever it is, I find myself wanting. I could be going after something with a horrible ending leading me to think it was a mistake or bad judgement. But, even though I may potentially know the ending to my story, I'd do anything to get it because I want it that bad.
