One thing you never lose, no matter how old you get, is the hope that "maybe this year will be better than the last..."
When you're young, it's an ambition. It's this exciting challenge to make every single year the best year yet- every school year, every summer, every sports season....
But the older you get, the less exciting the years become. It's no longer an ambition you entertain, it's a sad desire- a desperate hope. Every time you change jobs, every time you move to a new place, every tax season, hell...it's day-by-day sometimes...
"Maybe this year will be better than the last..."
