What do you want?

That's always a fun question but it is not as simple as it seems. What I want has to do with my feelings, my interests, and my goals. Having options is a luxury to some but options without goals or very specific interests can be fun at first but in the long run they can become a big disappointment of wasted potential.  Well, that's what I think anyway.  My mom always told me that even if I didn't have a clear idea of what I wanted out of life, I at least should have a clear idea of what I didn't want in life. Right now I don't want to have a wasted life. I don't know what my potential is and I suppose I will never find out without some focus. I am getting old and I feel like I'm living the life a 20 year old would envy. This life gives me pleasure and for the most part happiness. The problem I find is with the  second part of that sentence... for the most part... what a sad way to rationalize unhappiness. But why? why am I not happy all the time? why am I questioning this path I've taken?
Perhaps because there is no end game? no goal? no direction?
