A predominant factor of my life is knowledge. I crave for knowledge. To keep me happy, lock me in a room with thousands of books on every subject with food, water, a camera and a computer, and that'll keep me content for a long time.
Right now, I feel like going to the library and borrowing tons of books ranging from science, religion, spirituality, art and poetry. I just have a thirst for knowledge and understanding beyond what they teach me in school.
It is great to feel that way, isn't it? And it's rare. I think a lot of people leave school and enter adulthood with the feeling, "Great! Now I can give up the chore of having to learn stuff."

I rediscovered that insatiable lust for learning two years ago, when I had my big wake-up about life, and I've been hooked ever since. Long may it continue, for you as well.
