So actually if you think about it if our thirst for life was ever quenched then perhaps we would have perfect lives since we have exactly what we wanted out of life and we are content with it.(yeah right!)
Im in a place where I have become numb to situations, since I have gone through a lot of ego bashing and realities of life at this age. I left home when I was 17 and now I realise I didn't just leave my home but I also left my innocence and my naivety. I certainly don't regret anything, im thankful for all my experiences, people, circumstances, tests that were posed to me.
