@babyblues262 A counselor once asked me, "what do you want to live for?" and I did not have answer...needless to say I hit rock bottom a couple of years ago. I am healthy with minor cardiac issues, have a great career, a family, the suburbs, the whole bit. However, one night I realized the one thing I was missing was love. The passion that sustains me. While I still struggle with this myself, it gave me hope for the first time in a long while. I realized having love in your life for one day is worth any five days without it. So my feeling is that the beauty and purpose is in the quality of the now. Worrying what will happen someday will take away the potential of today.
