Over Caffeinated
Patiently sitting in a Starbucks typing on my computer like the rest of consumerism America, I've come to the realization that kindness is worth more than anything money can buy. Cliché, I know it is. Yet, an elderly gentleman approaching me complimenting my extensive doodle in my journal seemed to provide me with more excitement and energy than my venti Frappuccino. Perhaps, in our consumerist culture, we forget how to be social people. We drown ourselves in obscene amounts of caffeine, looking for energy and motivation. However, maybe our common drugs aren't the answer. We are running from the one thing that will provide us with joy and feeling because we are fearful of getting hurt -- we must seek interactions and relationships with those surrounding us. True depth in relationships just might aid to heal the never ending void in our souls.
