As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more aware of these moments with people who are considered special. Times when you feel as if it is the calm before the storm, the calm that’s often time spent preparing. When you are around those people, it feels like the best course of action is to become a sponge. Absorbing everything that’s said, they contain astronomical amount of memories and experiences that induce awe and respect.

When I got out of college, I had a job at a large fortune 500 company waiting for me. The increase in my compensation drastically changed the way I interacted with “things”, almost as if I had money burning a hole in my pocket. It is somewhat stereotypical though, I followed the popular vein and began to want the things everyone else wanted. However, I eventually came to the conclusion that material things shouldn’t be the end that you pursue. Houses can burn down, wood can rot and wither away, cars can rust and fall to pieces eventually no matter how much you take care of them. You can gain things, but you will inevitably lose them as well, no matter how hard you try.
