I live to see how it's all going to turn out. Every day is a surprise, even the ones that are just like all the other days, there's something new and interesting or enjoyable, like a particularly good nap, or a nice email from someone I haven't heard from. In the larger scheme of things, I feel like I'm part of a big story, and I have no idea what my part is, and it's my job to kind of improvise the part and then see how it relates to the bigger plot. There are days when I'm afraid it's going to be a tragedy in which the human race annihalates itself, but most days I think I'm going to leave in the middle of a chapter and think "wait, but I want to see how it ends!"
That sounds odd, but really that's the closest I can come to what keeps me going. That I have no idea where I'll be in 5 months or 5 years or 50 years.
