I like this thought, and I'm sorry but I have to say it: "thrives" feels awkward here. I think "makes you thrive" would have been a bit less clunky.

Maybe they meant “drives”?

My head went to "strive", but I suppose either works. I don't think "thrive" in either usage works, OP is clearly talking about wanting to do something, not being successful.

We are only correcting your usage so you can impress that exceptional SO of yours, OP.

Yeah you're absolutely right. It becomes abundantly clear when you replace "thrive" with one of its synonyms like "prosper" that it doesn't really work either way. Thanks for bringing it up!

It's a great sentiment but man, English title gore.
