The one thing that I fear most is in life is mediocrity. That my life will be that unremarkable, dull, average, and uninteresting that it will pass by without leaving a ripple in the world. That the sum total of my life's achievements will make for a boring film that will only ever be watched by me, and even as a spectator of my own life it will bore me. It is this great fear of watching life pass by that drives me to fill each day with beautiful poetry, music, adventure and love. Perhaps, even with this I will die as just another unremarkable man. But at least I will have made the most of the journey.
