Have you ever thought of yourself being a fish?

I know, weird way to start this off. But seriously, do you ever feel like you're just doing the same thing over and over?

Well maybe there's a reason why.

See fish don't usually appear to be upset. I own a lot of fish myself and I'll tell you, they seem pretty happy.

Key word: seem

People are kinda like that too. You do the same thing over and over and over. You see no reason why this is the way it is, but other people enjoy it.

I look at my fish and wonder, would you be happier with some change? You make me happy, but do I make you happy?

Maybe that's the point. Even if you dislike what you do, other people may enjoy it.

I'll tell you, I hate the majority of what I do. I still do it. You wanna know why?

Even if it makes me annoyed with myself, it's that one smile or laugh that makes it worth it.

So yeah maybe I'm like a fish, and maybe you are too, but if it makes someone happier it's all worth it.
