The Return
The saddest scenario of life in my opinion, is never being able to live it the way you'd like. Filled with regret is the man who looks back on the past only to realize he stares into a clearer reflection of the present. It's funny how no matter how difficult life seems, if you wait five years, that past moment doesn't seem so bad in comparison. As you get older, we all know that you're faced with greater responsibilities, and for some reason shit tends to hit the fan a little more frequently than you'd like. Unfortunately it seems that many in society allow this harsh reality to stunt their growth, and leave themselves to live life in repetition. Someone once told me, "There are those who make things happen, those who wait for things to happen, and those who wonder 'what the hell happened?'". Fortunately, I've broken out of the habit of waiting, but staying the course of progression is no easy task. My only aide is a genuine belief that I was meant for greater things. Naturally, I have no idea what those things include, but I'll get there in time.
My point isn't for everyone to quit their office jobs and move to the country. (That crap only happens in the movies) What I will suggest is to do something different once in a while just to keep life interesting. You don't have to fly to some remote location. Just do something small and out of the ordinary to break the routine. If you do enough of the little things, you tend to find life a little easier, and maybe, just maybe, you'll find yourself living it the way you always wanted.
