To Those Who Wonder...

DECEMBER 2006, MY OLD (TINY) APARTMENT, AND A BEAUTIFUL GUITAR....

What is life all about? Why the heck are we faced with all these challenges and beautiful moments?

Hmm….I can’t say for sure, and that’s putting it nicely, so I’ll simply put it this way:

I don’t know. What I’ve come to learn is that while nothing is guaranteed, we’ve got to live our lives the way that feels right to each of us, no matter what’s going on. Sure – I know I speak a good game, but it’s true. That said, we’ve got to jump through a ton of hoops to enjoy life in this society, and I’m really not complaining, per se.

I might sound like I’m preaching at moments in my diary here, but believe me – I’m just like you, where I’m trying to figure out just how the hell to be happy, as complicated (or ironically simple) as that pursuit may end up proving to be.

I’m deep, yeah I know…But so are a million others out there. This is why I even bother working hard to get my book out there: Because there are other “Jeff Emmerson’s” out there, and they need to (deserve to) know that there are people just like them out there…People who want more from life, and people who wonder…
