flirtatious euphoria

I have chosen to not expose myself in this post. I'm going to be a coward and be very evasive. I simply long to write out how one may or may not feel about "the thing". So "the thing" has been a recurring thought process in my mind. How does a person admit that "the thing" is not exactly what its cut out to be. Is it just me who gets terribly frustrated when "the thing" just doesn't provide you with everlasting euphoria? So what I usually do is, I move on to the next "the thing". I hope it, unlike the other "the thing", will keep me ridiculously insanely and absolutely enchanted with it, but it NEVER does. 

So my frustrations with "the thing" have left me in a state of quandary, wondering why I always allow myself to get so caught up with "the thing"? 

If you are somehow bamboozled at this point as to what I could possibly be going on about. Take heart. I'm bamboozled with you.

"If I could just have that" "If I could just accomplish that" - I've heard someone refer to this as "destination syndrome". You believe that if you accomplish something or get something/someone (not that I go around getting people. Please don't make this weird) then I will be so happy that I could possibly, in my head, not want for anything ever again. (well not ever again, thats a bit extreme, I still have needs lol). LIES. DECEPTION. FALSE ADVERTISING. lol. "The thing" my dear friend will never make us truly happy. It's momentarily. It's flirtatious euphoria. 

A wise man once said "The secret of salvation is not that you found Christ but it's that Christ found you". This thing, salvation, makes me happy. It's not always peachy keen 'outchea' but at least I know that  salvation comes with a guarantee. The saving of my soul. So "the thing" may disappoint but of one thing I am certain -

sal•va•tion

 (s?lˈveɪ ʃən) 

1. the act of saving or protecting from harm, risk, loss, etc.

Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 14: 7 For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
