as misha's trance music goes, "accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders." (Everybody's Free by Baz Luhrmann)
but people can be rather insatiable-- i count myself in.
why is it that when i get what i want, i find myself thinking it's never enough? does that mean i'm not appreciative? but i am, really. or did i ever know what i wanted in the first place? maybe not. maybe i thought i knew what i wanted-- because it sounded so noble, then. i convinced myself i wanted the best for everyone else even if it meant setting my welfare aside.
life is better when you're happy, but life is at its best when other people are happy because of you. i'd like to believe that. i'd like to think my life is at its best right now... but maybe i'm not as selfless as i thought i was. i want to be happy, too. it's not too much to ask, is it?
just for today, at least.
