Flaunting material possessions is bourgeois, and old-fashioned
We want to have amazing experiences that demonstrate the passion
With which we pursue life, experiences that are one of a kind
Involving excess money, exotic travel and an adventurous streak to find
That unique experience that bragging rights provides
Not possessions, but experience-chasing now divides
The haves and have-nots, we want to be able to display
“Amazing”, “surreal” “awe-inspiring” experiences on Instagram these days..

The world has shrunk, therefore it is easier than ever
To travel far and wide for extraordinary experiences that never
Would have been possible for most people even a decade ago
To be able to do something different gives a boost to the ego
Therefore we have all experience chasers become
Hoping these fabulous experiences would make us “awesome”
*
In our relentless quest for something extraordinary
We tend to disregard moments in our everyday lives ordinary
That are truly amazing, that have transformative potential
We find our lives boring, we feel dismal
If we do not have social-media worthy moments in our lives
While chasing uniqueness, in the mundane we forget to thrive
*
I am guilty of being driven by the thrill
Of experiences, I realize I never will
Be satisfied if I keep chasing experiences relentlessly
In my ordinary day, let me the extraordinary see..
Passion...unbridled
