i am...motivated..by love? o_O
have you ever heard of those experiments where the scientist or teacher places a candy or marshmallow on a table, tells the kid that he's going to go outside and if, when he comes back, the kid still hasnt touched the candy/marshmallow, he'll give the kid a second one?
and then studies followed the kids some years later and found that the kids who were willing to wait tended to be more successful in life.
i thought about what i'd do if i were a kid placed in that situation (I LOVED CANDY i had like 3 cavities because of them :[ ) and interestingly enough, though im pretty sure i wouldve waited, my motivation would have been because i wanted to make the adult proud of me.
i think a lot of the things i do is not because i want to do them but because i'm motivated by others. because of this, it's extremely easy for me to do thing i normally wouldnt as long as someone asks me to (and them being there helps tremendously). no idea how i came to be this way
