There's a lot of movement in my life. WHY? I go to school and work a damn-near full-time job while pursuing personal aspirations. WHY? I'm earning a degree and have to pay rent along the way. WHY? I want to further my earnings and prospects in life. WHY?

I believe accomplishing them will provide me with the most happiness. WHY? I've met smaller goals along these same larger lines that have made me happy. WHY?

Life as we know it is short, minuscule and so any moment of joy ought to be cherished. WHY?
