Is this a test

“Many people feel shackled and tormented by their dreams but pursue them anyway.”
“It’s just a thing you do that’s above pain and pleasure.”

A friend said this to me today. We have been exhausted for some time, feeling like our motivation had dried and that our goals were washed away with the fog.

It hit me then that perhaps the uncertainty and dread of walking forward had been the road where my feet hopped and skipped on my days of glory.

We should appreciate these moments more. The ones that remind us it was never supposed to be only joyful, for that would mean it was only meaningless.
