I feel most happy when I am planning something that will happen in the future, especially if it is a big change in my life. IE moving. I am the most guilty of building things up in my head and making them more important than they are or pretending they will be better than they turn out to be. It is both something I love and hate.
Matt and I change a lot, we move a lot, we buy things compulsively, and live compulsively. We obsess over things, get carried away in our excitement, makes lots of plans for these things. If they happen to follow through we are inevitable disappointed with the turn out. It sucks.
I love this because I love planning, and I love change. I hate this because I have become aware of my doing this and thus are aware of my inevitable disappointment.
Moving is the most recent event that has contributed to this problem. Every week, sometimes every day, we change our mind about where we will live after here. It is so exciting to talk about all the possibilities and how awesome it will be when we get there. However, in reality, it will only be awesome if we make it so.
I need to work on that...
for now I'll just dream about how awesome it would be to live in (insert random place here because anything is possible).
