You know, life is always just that. Life.
I find myself doing this and I have heard friends say the same. We always imagine how amazing (or un-amazing) our lives will be in a few years, or even a few days. As if some fundamental shift will happen in our existence and make our life feel different. We may change small things about ourselves over the course of time, but we still remain the same people, deep down. Like, I don't feel much older than I did when I was 15, but I used to imagine that I would be much more sure of myself at 21 than I find myself feeling now. I think the rest of our lives will be like this. The grass isn't always greener, sometimes its really just the same grass and one or two new lawn ornaments. Location of residence, a lack of a relationship or the presence of one, profession, age, friends or few friends, etc; we are still just us. Life is still just life and people are just people. I've heard people say that we always romanticize the past, remembering mostly what we want to remember. We also do this with the future though, we only expect a shining, more-fulfilling, wise and perfect life if something will only happen. I want to be happy where I am, no matter where I am. That way, when I look back, I know I didn't spend my past wishing for the future.
