Life is very difficult because on one hand you are very thankful to be a human but on the other hand you feel like, \u201cas a human shouldn\u2019t I have accomplished more?\u201d For instance: I am not a photographer for National Geographic. I am also not a frequent contributor to Harper\u2019s or The New Yorker. As far as I can tell I’m completely wasting my humanness. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nIt seems pretty ridiculous to have opposable thumbs, a big brain, hundreds of thousands of years of genetic mutations and intellectual discovery, and I don\u2019t even host a late night talk show. I don’t even write for a successful television series. I\u2019m not saying I\u2019m so great, I\u2019m just saying I\u2019m human, and I think that should count for more. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nOthers of my kind have sent rockets into space, have written operas, have established new governments and religions. I haven\u2019t done any of those things. I haven\u2019t even won any awards of recognition or hand built an alternative fuel car. It\u2019s like, what am I even doing? Where is my time going? <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nPerhaps it\u2019s time to really make note of how I use my days. A diary might lend insight to where I\u2019m losing the precious hours that should be devoted to solving the oil crisis and becoming fluent in Russian. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
