Introspection :: What Am I Looking For?

It was a wonderful question that was recently asked; a question that possibly could be answered off the cuff, but required a bit more in-depth analysis and introspection. And of course there are so many different levels upon which these searches ensue.

In the simplest way, I am chasing rainbows. I’ve used this analogy in an attempt to describe what it is I wish to do with my life, or what it is that I am searching for.


Rainbows are a magical creation, full of beauty and colour, intrigue and simplicity on a majestic scale. And this is what I wish to encapsulate in my life. To have a life full of colour—whether it is with my personality, the friends I keep, the experiences I have, the people I meet, the challenges I face. Basically, refusing to accept the mundane.

The beauty a rainbow represents is also something I wish to seek out. And again, this comes down to improving the beauty of my soul and mind, having it questioned and challenged to let it flourish and blossom as well as reciprocating this with the people around me—sharing ideas and questioning, to continue growing and improving.

And as rainbows have intrigue, I too search for this. I need to surround myself in an environment where I am free to question and sometimes see the world through innocent or child-like eyes. To have input and brainstorming and what some may see as absolutely insane acts or behaviour to let my spirit soar and curiosity and intrigue in the world to develop.

So to keep things simple, I am looking to chase down rainbows. The rainbows within me, friends, lovers, colleagues, places, the planet we live in. Rainbows are everywhere, but sometimes deeply hidden.
