Joy

Do the things that bring you joy

So simple

Too simple

I’ve spent much of my life in search of meaning

Changing careers and countries

And after doing something I thought should be deeply meaningful…

I felt nothing

Just empty

The holy grail turned out to be a concept

Not a chalice

And only now do I realise I was doing what I thought should be meaningful

Rather than doing what brings me joy

A feeling only I can know

A meaning unique to me
