Of course I want to live in the past. It was better there.
So I'm watching 17 Again because Zac Efron is the most guilty of pleasures for me. He's so symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing that I can't help but love him in absolutely every role that he chooses. (Yes, I'm also talking about High School Musical. I was also heartbroken when he dropped out of the new Footloose.) Though I would love to shout about my love for him from the rooftops, that isn't exactly the point of this post.
The above line came from my favorite Zefron movie and I found myself caught off guard by it. For a lot of people, that's totally true. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that, I suppose. People realize that the present is actually one of the best years of their lives or whatever. For me, I don't want that to be true because I think that my present life is awesome.
Ugh, none of that made much sense but I hope you know what I'm talking about. The only thing that gets me through the day is the knowledge that things will be better tomorrow and the next day. To get 20 years down the road and realize that I was happier single and matriculating at a shit hole of a high school would be absolutely devastating.
